[R] Warning messages while parallel computing

[Shah Alam]

Hello everyone,

I am using the "parallel" R package for parallel computation.

Code:

   # set number of cores
    cl <- makeCluster(8, type = "PSOCK")  # Mac/Linux need to set as "FORK"

      # pass functions and objects to the cluster environment and set seed
      # all the items exported need to stay in the global environment!!
      clusterCall(cl, function() { source("xx.R" )})
      clusterExport(cl, list("a", "b", "c", "d",
                             "5"))
      clusterSetRNGStream(cl, 1)

While parallel processing, I receive the following warning signs.  Do I
need to ignore these signs or do they potentially slow the whole process?

 *  Warning signs:*
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 19
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 18
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 17
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 16
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 15
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 14
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 13
Warning in for (i in seq_len(Ne + echo)) { :
  closing unused connection 12
