The attached code produces corrupted pdfs (test2.pdf, test4.pdf and
test5.pdf). The resulting pdf depends on how many cores are available on
the machine.
I don't see why there should be any difference between the pdfs (exept for
the timestamp). Doing many operations involving mclapply can increase the
size of the resulting pdf by ten times!
Thank you for checking this.
require(multicore)
pdf('test.pdf')
y <- unlist(lapply(1:50, identity))
plot(y)
print(y)
dev.off()
options(cores = 3)
pdf('test2.pdf')
y <- unlist(mclapply(1:50, identity))
plot(y)
print(y)
dev.off()
pdf('test3.pdf')
y <- unlist(lapply(1:50, identity))
plot(y)
print(y)
dev.off()
options(cores = 2)
pdf('test4.pdf')
y <- unlist(mclapply(1:50, identity))
plot(y)
print(y)
dev.off()
options(cores = 8)
pdf('test5.pdf')
y <- unlist(mclapply(1:50, identity))
plot(y)
print(y)
dev.off()
