Parallelization in Jamovi

Post by rheredia@tamiu.edu »

Hello,

I am running some very complex 5-way factor Linear Mixed Models using GAMLj. I have managed to create a computer cluster. I wonder if it would be possible to “parallelize” Jamovi to run in a cluster in Parallel?

I probably don’t know what I am talking about.

Thanks for any possible information that you can provide,

Best wishes,

Roberto

hi roberto,

jamovi supports parallelization *between* analyses (i.e. multiple running concurrently), but at present the options for parallelization *within* an analysis is limited.

the issue is that we use R libraries to perform our stats calculations, and most of these don't support parallel processing.

we're kinda at the mercy of what the lower level stats library people produce.

cheers
