This is a question about your OS, isn't it? Does your OS allow you to
run multiple processes on different cores? Or maybe this is a question
about RStudio. Does it allow multiple instances to run on the same
computer, so your OS can allocate them to different cores?
If you run your scripts in R (not under RStudio) it's certainly possible
to have multiple R processes running at the same time. Just do it.
