I am running a script provided by someone else that use RSiena. It originally came with nbrNodes=4 in the call to sienaBayes(). I am running this on a compute cluster, and it is generating processes that look like this /sw/arcts/centos7/R/3.5.0/lib64/R/bin/exec/R --slave --no-restore -e parallel:::.slaveRSOCK() --args MASTER=localhost PORT=11805 OUT=cluster.out SETUPTIMEOUT=120 TIMEOUT=2592000 XDR=TRUE So it is using ssh to get to the same machine, and the spawned cluster processes all seem to be running at very low percentages of CPU because they are getting assigned to an incorrect cgroup. I think the processes will run at or very near 100% if I can change the cluster startup type so that they fork instead of using ssh and a socket. Should that be done by adding a clusterString='FORK' to the the sienaBayes() function call? Thanks, -- bennet
