clusterApply: Apply operations using clusters

Description

These functions provide several ways to parallelize computations using a cluster.

NOTE: This man page is for the clusterCall, clusterApply, clusterApplyLB, clusterEvalQ, clusterExport, clusterMap, clusterSplit, parLapply, parSapply, parApply, parRapply, parCapply, parLapplyLB, and parSapplyLB S4 generic functions defined in the BiocGenerics package. See ?parallel::clusterApply for the default methods (defined in the parallel package). Bioconductor packages can define specific methods for cluster-like objects not supported by the default methods.

Usage

clusterCall(cl=NULL, fun, ...)
clusterApply(cl=NULL, x, fun, ...)
clusterApplyLB(cl=NULL, x, fun, ...)
clusterEvalQ(cl=NULL, expr)
clusterExport(cl=NULL, varlist, envir=.GlobalEnv)
clusterMap(cl=NULL, fun, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, RECYCLE=TRUE, SIMPLIFY=FALSE, USE.NAMES=TRUE, .scheduling=c("static", "dynamic"))
clusterSplit(cl=NULL, seq)
parLapply(cl=NULL, X, fun, ...)
parSapply(cl=NULL, X, FUN, ..., simplify=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE) 
parApply(cl=NULL, X, MARGIN, FUN, ...)
parRapply(cl=NULL, x, FUN, ...)
parCapply(cl=NULL, x, FUN, ...) 
parLapplyLB(cl=NULL, X, fun, ...)
parSapplyLB(cl=NULL, X, FUN, ..., simplify=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE)

Arguments

cl

A cluster-like object.

x

A vector-like object for clusterApply and clusterApplyLB. A matrix-like object for parRapply and parCapply.

seq

Vector-like object to split.

X

A vector-like object for parLapply, parSapply, parLapplyLB, and parSapplyLB. An array-like object for parApply.

fun, ..., expr, varlist, envir, MoreArgs, RECYCLE, SIMPLIFY, USE.NAMES, .scheduling, FUN, simplify, MARGIN

See ?parallel::clusterApply for a description of these arguments.

Value

See ?parallel::clusterApply for the value returned by the default methods.Specific methods defined in Bioconductor packages should behave like the default methods.
