Issue with parallel run #5

Closed azzaea closed 4 years ago

azzaea commented 8 years ago

The 'multicore' core package is no longer maintained by CRAN, and all its functionality is inherited in the 'parallel' package: setting the control=list(parallel='multicore') in the function call yields the warning: [ Package 'multicore' is not installed => parallel='none' ]

To still be able to use this functionality though, simply setting control=list(parallel='parallel') calls the right package

You're right. The multicore option is just maintained within the package for backward compatibility (old scripts running with the multicore option), even if the multicore package is superseded by the parallel package. Setting control=list(parallel='parallel') will work in most of the architectures.
