I have been using the parallel processing library doMC
with the requisite registerDoMC(cores=3)
a lot lately.
However I have found that after running through my calculations my computer acts a little squirrelly. It freezes and slows down dramatically. I have used HTOP to monitor the processors and they seem to jump up and down even when my R script is finished. I believe that it may be R or RStudio since I have seen those processes jump.
Is there a command that can turn off the doMC
registerDoMC(cores=3)
combination? Has anyone else seen these types of symptoms when using doMC
?
