foreach-package

The foreach package provides a new looping construct for executing
R code repeatedly.  The main reason for using the foreach package
is that it supports parallel execution.  The foreach package can
be used with a variety of different parallel computing systems,
include NetWorkSpaces and snow.  In addition, foreach can be
used with iterators, which allows the data to specified in a very
flexible way.

package

Support for the foreach looping construct.  Foreach is an
        idiom that allows for iterating over elements in a collection,
        without the use of an explicit loop counter.  This package in
        particular is intended to be used for its return value, rather
        than for its side effects.  In that sense, it is similar to the
        standard lapply function, but doesn't require the evaluation of
        a function.  Using foreach without side effects also
        facilitates executing the loop in parallel.
