Hi Martin, Micheal and Vincent, If I run the following code, with the release version of BiocParallel then it works (took me some time to actually realize that), but with the development version I am getting an error shown after the test code below. If I run the same test with BatchJobs from the devel branch alone then there is no problem. Thus, it seems there is some change in the devel version of BiocParallel causing this error? The torque.tmpl file I am using on our cluster is the standard one from BatchJobs here: https://github.com/tudo-r/BatchJobs/blob/master/examples/cfTorque/simple.tmpl
For my application, I could stick with BatchJobs, but it would be nicer if I could get things to work with BiocParallel. Thanks, Thomas ############### ## Test Code ## ############### FUN <- function(i) system("hostname", intern=TRUE) library(BiocParallel); library(BatchJobs) funs <- makeClusterFunctionsTorque("torque.tmpl") param <- BatchJobsParam(4, resources=list(walltime="48:00:00", nodes="1:ppn=4", memory="4gb"), cluster.functions=funs) register(param) xx <- bplapply(1:4, FUN) Error: 4 errors; first error: For more information, use bplasterror().
