BiocParallel

Bioconductor facilities for parallel evaluation (experimental)

Possible TODO

• map/reduce-like function
• bpforeach?
• Abstract scheduler
• lazy DoparParam
• SnowParam support for setSeed, recursive, cleanup
• subset SnowParam

DONE

• encapsulate arguments as ParallelParam()
• Standardize signatures
• Make functions generics
• parLapply-like function
• Short vignette
• elaborate SnowParam for SnowSocketParam, SnowForkParam, SnowMpiParam, …
• MulticoreParam on Windows

github notes

• commit one-liners with names

  git log —pretty=format:”- %h %an: %s”

TO FIX

• DoparParam does not pass foreach args
  (specifically access to .options.nws for chunking)
