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.

Please see the response and follow up at A: BiocParallel not proceeding and my apologies for the delay.

Thank you very much. The problem was solved after the BiocParallel updating to 1.8.1 version and the addition of  "options(bphost="localhost") in my R code before to the bplapply use.
