R does not parallelize its operation automatically... you have to use R code that splits the work you give it into multiple tasks. See ?parallel --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live...

[R] CPU usage while running R code

2012-07-04 Thread Franckx Laurent
I am currently running an R program on a computer with 16 Gb memory (Windows7, 64 bit). When I look at the task manager, I see that only 4 out of the 8 CPUs are being used. Is this due to some missing in the R code, or should I change something to the settings of the computer? Laurent Franckx,
