I am using the package Multicore/Parallel to do importance sampling. I have 5 cores on my computer. And I have let's say 10 000 particles to generate. What I did was to send 5 particles in each time, calling the package parallel. Which means in all I am calling the parallel command 2000 times. What happens is in the end somewhere along the way I end up with the error message error in fork unable to create a pipe. Would it be better for me to call the parallel once only but each time send in 2000 particles in each parallel process.
