checkMC: Check for Multi-Core Resources

Description

Internally used function for determining the availability of resources required for parallel computations via the plyr (version >= 1.2), doMC, and foreach packages.

Usage

checkMC(n = 2)

Arguments

n

number of cores to use, defaults to 2

Value

• TRUE if required packages are installed, otherwise FALSE

Details

The introduction of parallel computing to the AQP package is still experimental. Therefore, parallel computation for AQP functions must manually be enabled with options(AQP_parallel=TRUE).
