Dear Arun, thank you for the report. I agree with the analysis, detectCores() will only report logical processors in the NUMA group in which R is running. I don't have a system to test on, could you please check these workarounds for me on your systems? # number of logical processors - what

Dear R-devel list, R's detectCores() function internally calls "ncpus" function to get the total number of logical processors. However, this doesnot seem to take NUMA into account on Windows machines. On a machine having 48 processors (24 cores) in total and windows server 2012 installed, if
