An multicore future is a future whose value will be resolved asynchroneously in a parallel process

internal

A Future API for R is provided. In programming, a future is an
    abstraction for a value that may be available at some point in the future.
    The state of a future can either be unresolved or resolved. As soon as it is
    resolved, the value is available. Futures are useful constructs in for instance
    concurrent evaluation, e.g. multicore parallel processing and distributed
    processing on compute clusters. The purpose of this package is to provide a
    lightweight interface for using futures in R. Functions 'future()' and 'value()'
    exist for creating futures and requesting their values. An infix assignment
    operator '%<=%' exists for creating futures whose values are accessible by the
    assigned variables (as promises). This package implements the synchronous "lazy"
    and "eager" futures, and the asynchronous "multicore" future (not on Windows).
    Additional types of futures are provided by other packages enhancing this
    package.
