Hello, thanks for the input. Below is a small example, simpler then expected :) I'm just curious why I can't see any output from print(i).
---------------------- library(multicore) f_long <- function() { for (i in 1:100000000){ a=i} print(i) return("finished") } p_long <- parallel(f_long() ,silent =FALSE ) collect(p_long, wait=FALSE, 10) # stops the execution since its not finished after 10sec # on my machine anyway ;) f_short <- function() { for (i in 1:10000){ a=i} print(i) return("finished") } p_short <- parallel(f_short() ,silent =FALSE ) collect(p_short, wait=FALSE, 10) # will retrieve the result (since it's fast) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
