bpmapply: Parallel mapply-like functionality

Description

bpmapply applies FUN to first elements of ..., the second elements and so on. Any type of object in ... is allowed, provided length, [, and [[ methods are available. The return value is a list of length equal to the length of all objects provided, as with mapply.

Usage

bpmapply(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, SIMPLIFY=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE, BPRESUME=getOption("BiocParallel.BPRESUME", FALSE), BPPARAM=bpparam())
"bpmapply"(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, SIMPLIFY=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE, BPRESUME=getOption("BiocParallel.BPRESUME", FALSE), BPPARAM=bpparam())
"bpmapply"(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, SIMPLIFY=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE, BPRESUME=getOption("BiocParallel.BPRESUME", FALSE), BPPARAM=bpparam())
"bpmapply"(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, SIMPLIFY=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE, BPRESUME=getOption("BiocParallel.BPRESUME", FALSE), BPPARAM=bpparam())

Arguments

FUN

The function to be applied to each element passed via ....

...

Objects for which methods length, [, and [[ are implemented. All objects must have the same length or shorter objects will be replicated to have length equal to the longest.

MoreArgs

List of additional arguments to FUN.

SIMPLIFY

If TRUE the result will be simplified using simplify2array.

USE.NAMES

If TRUE the result will be named.

BPRESUME

Flag to determine if a previous partially successful run should be resumed. See bpresume for details.

BPPARAM

An optional BiocParallelParam instance determining the parallel back-end to be used during evaluation.

Value

lapply.

Details

See showMethods{bplapply} for additional methods, e.g., method?bplapply("MulticoreParam").

Examples

Run this code

showMethods("bpmapply")

## ten tasks (1:10) so ten calls to FUN default registered parallel
## back-end. Compare with bpvec.
result <- bpmapply(function(greet, who) {
    paste(Sys.getpid(), greet, who)
}, c("morning", "night"), c("sun", "moon"))
cat(paste(result, collapse="\n"), "\n")
