thanks. I was trying this last night and I think R just released 3.2.2 and
nothing seems to be compatible with it... I gave up last night.... but now
that you showed me this post, I am going to try it again.

thanks

FYI, this gentleman has setup R studio AWS images for everyone to use.

I tried to use the parallel core again and I get this error message. Note
that the non-parallel version works fine for me and I am using the
optimization feature.


This is how I call the parallel version:

if( Sys.info()['sysname'] == "Windows" )
{
  library(doParallel)
  cl=makeCluster(detectCores())
  registerDoParallel(cl)
  #registerDoSEQ()
} else {
  library(doMC)

  registerDoMC(cores=detectCores())
}

This is how I call the serial version:

if( Sys.info()['sysname'] == "Windows" )
{
  library(doParallel)

  registerDoSEQ()
} else {
  library(doMC)

  registerDoMC(cores=detectCores())
}

thanks. I am running the optimization and yeah it is pretty slow so I
figure that I should put it on more cores. It seems/sounds like it 'd

fine on Linux but now that you mention Windows, may be I will give it a
shot before firing up AWS and go through the pain to make an image and

all

that.

thx

Not all of the parallel packages with in Windows, but doParallel is

one

that does.  Here is how to start it with 3 cores:

library(doParallel)
cl <- makeCluster(3)
registerDoParallel(cl)

It will automatically load the foreach package provided you have it
installed.  Please see the documentation for foreach for examples.

Thanks,

Roger

I did quite a bit of googling. it is not clear to me if it works now

on

Windows or not. it is pretty slow even if I have turned off my
debug,verbose or print. any idea?

        [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

should go.
