Re: [R] makeCluster() hangs infinitely

2018-09-17 Thread Zhihao Huang
Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the suggestions! I tried your approach, and obtained the
following output, which is pretty similar to the previous ones.

> cl <- future::makeClusterPSOCK(1, outfile = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

*Workers: [n = 1] ‘localhost’*

*Base port: 11214*

*Creating node 1 of 1 ...*

*- setting up node*

*Starting worker #1 on ‘localhost’:
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/Rscript'
--default-packages=datasets,utils,grDevices,graphics,stats,methods -e
'parallel:::.slaveRSOCK()' MASTER=localhost PORT=11214 OUT= TIMEOUT=2592000
XDR=TRUE*

*Waiting for worker #1 on ‘localhost’ to connect back*

starting worker pid=13731 on localhost:11214 at 15:48:41.991
I guess this is a connection problem. I am not sure what these numbers
mean. Do you have any further idea on this? I very much appreciate it!

Thanks,
Zhihao

Yes, it looks similar with the important difference of displaying:

"starting worker pid=13731 on localhost:11214 at 15:48:41.991"

That tells us that the background worker (separate R session running
parallel:::.slaveRSOCK()) was successfully launched, which is good.

BTW, you should see something similar with:

cl <- parallel::makeCluster(1, outfile = NULL)

which helps others help you (in case they say "oh, it might be a
problem with the future package - as the maintainer").

Yes, it looks like a "connection problem" - this could be a firewall
issue or similar.  I'm not on macOS, so I cannot help you there, but
maybe others can pitch in.

Re: [R] makeCluster() hangs infinitely

2018-09-16 Thread Henrik Bengtsson
Hi,

did you see my answer on StackOverflow? Specifically, if you set
argument 'outfile = NULL' to either of those two functions, you'll get
a little bit more information that *might* provide some clues.

[R] makeCluster() hangs infinitely

2018-09-16 Thread Zhihao Huang
Hi all,

The function makeCluster() of parallel does not work on my laptop. It hangs
infinitely.

*1. Problem Summary:*

> # Loading parallel packages

> library(parallel)

> cl <- makeCluster(2) # It hangs at this line of code.
It hangs at the second line of the code.

*2. Potential Reason*
I also tried to see the details of what it does internally by using the
following code.

> library(future)

> cl <- future::makeClusterPSOCK(1L, verbose = TRUE) # It hangs at this
line of code.
And it returns the following descriptions and hangs.

*Workers: [n = 1] ‘localhost’*

*Base port: 11214*

*Creating node 1 of 1 ...*

*- setting up node*

*Starting worker #1 on ‘localhost’:
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/Rscript'
--default-packages=datasets,utils,grDevices,graphics,stats,methods -e
'parallel:::.slaveRSOCK()' MASTER=localhost PORT=11214 OUT=/dev/null
TIMEOUT=2592000 XDR=TRUE*

*Waiting for worker #1 on ‘localhost’ to connect back*
So the problem is that the "worker #1 on 'local host'" never connects back,
and that's why it hangs forever. I have no idea what causes this.

*3. my sessionInfo():*

R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02)

Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit)

Running under: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6


Matrix products: default

BLAS:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libRblas.0.dylib

LAPACK:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib


locale:

[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8


attached base packages:

[1] stats graphics  grDevices utils datasets  methods   base


loaded via a namespace (and not attached):

[1] compiler_3.5.1

I spent hours searching for the solutions but failed. It looks like some
other people met similar problem here
. Also, I
posted this question online here

a
week ago.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Thanks,
Zhihao
