[R] Intel i7 utilization

[Feng Li]

  I guess you want a multi-threaded R. The cheapest way is to recompile 
R from the source and link it with an multi-threaded BLAS. See R-admin 
for details. See also Dirk's recent survey on this topic 
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/papers/gcbd.pdf I managed to do this under 
my linux box with Intel core 2 CPU which works well. But I haven't tried 
with i7 CPU.
