Hello MasteRs-

Because I want to parallelize several calls to the glmulti package, what
I'm essentially doing is trying to parallelize different calls to rJava.
I'm using plyr functions which use foreach and then doMC which means
multicore is my backend for parallelizing.

I've tried several approaches to this but have not succeeded, i also find
virtually no record of folks trying this or any mention of how it might
work. I'm hoping my failure comes from ignorance of how to call .jinit with
the appropriate parameters at the right time. A simple example call

all.glmultis <- llply( some.list, function.which.calls.glmulti,
.paralllel=TRUE )

If i set .parallel=FALSE, the call completes and I'm able to merge the
results using a glmulti command. However, when parallelizing, it never
returns (even though it appears to run the separate processes
simultaneously and finish the heavy computation).

Can I expect to get this to work or not? If so, what are the basics?

Thanks for any help,

James
