I am running R.And I want to make parallel computations.
When using the snow package under R-2.13.1patched or the parallel package
under R 2.14.0dev, R isn't able to create a cluster. When typing:
cl <- makeCluster(4)
R doesn't respond. It doesn't crash either.
specs:
OS: 32 bit, Windows XP Prof, SP3.
Processor: Intel Core i3 cpu, quad core.
My colleague works on exactly the same system and operating system, and he
hasn't encountered any problems. What can be the problem?
Best regards,
