[Rd] linux multi-threaded compilation is running only on one processor

[Vitaliy FEOKTISTOV]

Hello,

I compiled R-2.15.2 with linux intel compilers (see below).

when I execute some R code on a // 4 proc x 4 cores // server
(export MKL_NUM_THREADS = 16)
very often I have the situations where only one processor (4 cores) is
active instead of 4 (16 cores) !

do you know this fact depends on what ?

thank you !

P.S.
many functions of R are single-threaded,
is there a simple way to make them multi-threaded ?
