Hi all, I'm working on a large simulation and I'm using the doParallel package to parallelize my work. I have 20 cores on my machine and would like to preserve some for day-to-day activities - word processing, sending emails, etc.
I started by saving 1 core and it was clear that *everything* was so slow as to be nearly unusable. Any suggestions on how many cores to hold back (e.g., not to put to work on the parallel process)? Thanks, Leslie [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
