parallel gp in windows

Hi there,

I was wondering if somebody knew how to make a simple parfor loop work on my windows computer.

I'm trying to execute the following Euler product

func1(a,b)= count=0; while (abs( prodeuler(X=2,10000,1/( 1-1/X^(1+(a+count)*2*Pi*I/log(2)))) ) < b,count=count+1 ); print(count)

func1(1e35,5)

this takes about 15 seconds on my machine. Now when I tried to use the parfor loop to do this:

func2(a,b)= abs( prodeuler(X=2,10000,1/( 1-1/X^(1+(a+b)*2*Pi*I/log(2)))) )

export(func2)

parfor (count=1, , func2(1e35,count)>5 , r, if (r, return (count)))

it also takes 15 seconds to execute - indicating that the workers aren't being initialised (or I'm doing something fundamentally wrong!)

Does anyone have any tips to do this?

All the best,

Ash
