Dear all,
I have a piece of code that  I want to run in parallel (I am working in system 
of 16 cores)


foreach (i=(seq(-93,-73,length.out=21))) %dopar%
  {
           threshold<-i

          print(i)
          do_analysis1(i,path)
          do_analysis2(i,path)
            do_something_else_analysis1(i,path)
            something_else_now(i,path)
  }


We do not know how your cluster was set up, hence cannot respond.


I'd just use the parallel (an R base package) and do:

library("parallel")
cl <- makeCluster(.....)
result <- parSapply(cl, seq(-93,-73,length.out=21), function(i){
           threshold<-i
           print(i)
           do_analysis1(i,path)
           do_analysis2(i,path)
           do_something_else_analysis1(i,path)
           something_else_now(i,path)
})
stopCluster(cl)

(untested, of course)

as you can see I have already tried to make this run in parallel, meaning for 
every  i   value each of the 16 processor shoule take a block of the body such 
as:

     threshold<-i

          print(i)
          do_analysis1(i,path)
          do_analysis2(i,path)
            do_something_else_analysis1(i,path)
            something_else_now(i,,path)




and execute it . Unfortunately this does not work and oonly one processor looks 
utilized.

Alternatively, mclapply have worked well in the past, but in this case I am not 
sure how to convert the serial execution of the body of the loop to a list that 
would be compatible with the mclapply.

I would like to thank you in advance for your help

Regards
Alex
