[R-SIG-Finance] parallel processing

Tue Oct 27 01:32:57 CET 2015

I tried to use the parallel core again and I get this error message. Note
that the non-parallel version works fine for me and I am using the
optimization feature.

This is how I call the parallel version:

if( Sys.info()['sysname'] == "Windows" )
{
  library(doParallel)
  cl=makeCluster(detectCores())
  registerDoParallel(cl)
  #registerDoSEQ()
} else {
  library(doMC)

  registerDoMC(cores=detectCores())
}

This is how I call the serial version:

if( Sys.info()['sysname'] == "Windows" )
{
  library(doParallel)

  registerDoSEQ()
} else {
  library(doMC)

  registerDoMC(cores=detectCores())
}
