[R] inconsistency in mclapply.....

[akshay kulkarni]

Dear members,
                          I am using pbmcapply to parellise my code. But the following code doesn't work:

> LYG <- pbmclapply(LYGH,FUN = arfima,mc.cores = 2,mc.preschedule = FALSE)
  |                                                                                                                                                     |   0%, ETA NA^

It just hangs.

But the following works:

>  LYG <- pbmclapply(LYGH,FUN = arfima,mc.cores = 2)
  |==============================================================================================================================================| 100%, Elapsed 00:32
>  LYG <- pbmclapply(LYGH,FUN = arfima,mc.cores = 2,mc.preschedule = FALSE)
  |==============================================================================================================================================| 100%, Elapsed 00:52

Any idea on why mc.preschedule = FALSE works after the one without it?

Many thanks ...

THanking you,

Yours sincerely,
