[R] parallel processing for bridge and blasso

[Emily Deomano]

I'm running 10, 000 iterations each for the bridge and blasso.  3, 000 iterations roughly takes a week in a core-duo processor with 16GB RAM.  I'll have access to a 6C processor machine and I came across the multicore package.  Can I use multicore with the bridge and blasso function?  That is, is parallel processing possible for the bridge and blasso functions by using the multicore package?


Kind Regards
