The simplest way to evaluate an expression in parallel is to use + 'x %<-% { expression }' with 'plan(multiprocess)'. This package implements + sequential, multicore, multisession, and cluster futures. With these, R + expressions can be evaluated on the local machine, in parallel a set of + local machines, or distributed on a mix of local and remote machines. + Extensions to this package implement additional backends for processing + futures via compute cluster schedulers etc. Because of its unified API, + there is no need to modify any code in order switch from sequential on the + local machine to, say, distributed processing on a remote compute cluster. + Another strength of this package is that global variables and functions are + automatically identified and exported as needed, making it straightforward + to tweak existing code to make use of futures.""" + + homepage = "https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/future" + url = "https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/future_1.14.0.tar.gz" + list_url = "https://cloud.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/future" + + version('1.14.0', sha256='0a535010d97a01b21aaf9d863603e44359335e273019c1e1980bbb5b2917dbcb') + + depends_on('r-digest', type=('build', 'run')) + depends_on('r-globals@0.12.4:', type=('build', 'run')) + depends_on('r-listenv@0.7.0:', type=('build', 'run')) |
