I am using mclapply() to do parallel computing of a brms model on an AWS instance. When the number of parallel computations is greater than the number of cores, I get this error for some computations - Error in sink(type = “output”) : invalid connection res.null <- mclapply(1:100, function(x) sim(N…

Hi, sorry that your question fell through. Did you manage to resolve this? You usually get more info out of stan when running with cores=1, also it appears weird that you essentially embed two paralellizations - I would do all the paralellization in the top level-call and then run brm with cores=1 o…
