Dear R users, I have some problems with the parLapply function from the "parallel" package:
I use parLapply on a pretty big R object without changing the object within the called function. If I execute parLapply alone, everything works fine. It seems that the object resides only once in the memory. But if I use the same call within another function, the object seems to be multiplied to the nodes. We conclude this from the longer run time and a significant higher memory usage. Any help is appreciated! :-) Cheers, Katja Hebestreit Some version information: > sessionInfo() R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=C LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] parallel stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods [8] base ______________________________________________ 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.
