[Rd] crossprod(): g77 versus gfortran

Hi I've got two builds of R, one using g77 (version 3.4.6) and the other using gfortran (version 4.1.2). The two builds are otherwise identical as far as I can tell. The one which used g77 performs crossprod()s roughly twice as fast as the gfortran one. I'm wondering if this rings a bell with anyo

Just my 2 cents: it may not be a good idea to restrict software versions to gain reproducibility. To me, this kind of reproducibility is "dead" reproducibility (what if the old software has a fatal bug? do we want to reproduce the same **wrong** results?). Software packages are continuously evolvin

Hi, In support of reproducible research at my Institute, I seek an approach to re-creating the R environments in which an analysis has been conducted. By which I mean, the exact version of R and the exact version of all packages used in a particular R session. I am seeking comments/criticism o

Hello, I'm creating a package for R. This package containes a fortran (wrapped C) *.so . This dynamic library is compiled to be multi-threaded (-parallel -openmp -threads .. options). When I call this library from R : dyn.load("mylib.so") the execution is one threaded ! Where could be a problem
