Dear list,
I'm trying to use the bplapply function in a multicore way but it doesn't work. The OS is Mac OS X (Sierra) and the macbook has 4 threads.
To test the method, I have simply run the example code
bplapply(1:6, sqrt, BPPARAM = MulticoreParam(3))
But, nothing occurs in the R console and the session is broken. The loop never ends and I need to force de program close. When I checked the cpus usage nothing is running.
When I run the same example but using the SerialParam with 1 or more than 1 worker or when I use the SerialParam function all is ok.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks, Gabriela.
