I just installed Julia on a 2013 MacBook Pro with "make", however I'd like to recompile it to support parallel processes. What do you guys recommend I do here?
Looks like I should run the following: cd $JULIA_HOME rm julia # this is all you need to do to uninstall it? make -j 8 For Julia experts, is that the recommended approach: to delete the old one and make a new one? Is 8 a good number of parallel processes to use for a 2013 MacBook Pro with a SSD? Also, why do you have to recompile Julia to use parallel processes... shouldn't it just support parallel processes by default? For example, maybe it is set to use up to 8 process max unless you call it with "julia -p 1". Finally, when I compiled it, there were a ton of warnings. Stuff like: unused variables, incompatible pointer types, etc. It looks like these warnings are only due to the preprocessor comments. Still, there should be something in the readme that says not to worry about these comments, or else compile it and siphon the warnings off to a log file. Here's a few of the warnings: c_zblas2.c:140:69: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'CBLAS_TEST_ZOMPLEX *' to parameter of type 'double *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] symm.c:145:7: warning: unused variable 'mode' [-Wunused-variable] ./level3.c:254:17: warning: equality comparison with extraneous parentheses [-Wparentheses-equality]
