assignParallelFile.BigBang: Assigns a different saveFile value for parallelization

Description

Assigns a different saveFile value for parallelization. The assignation is done looking for a existing filename with a consecutive number starting from 1. If a filename with a particular consecutive number is not found, it is assigned.

Usage

# S3 method for BigBang
assignParallelFile(bb,
	save=TRUE,
	prefix="parallel-",
	use.random=TRUE,
	compatibilize=TRUE,
	...)

Arguments

save

Specify to save the file to ``lock'' the name and avoid other parallel process to use it. Defaults to true.

prefix

Prefix used in the parallel files for identification. Defaults to ``parallel-''.

use.random

Specify if an integer random value between 0 and 9999 is added to avoid duplicated filenames in parallel process started at the same time. Defaults to true.

Value

Returns the file name assigned to the bigbang object for parallelization.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
	#Initial process:
	#load data and configure initial objects, run once
	library(galgo)
	bb <- configBB.varSel(..., saveFile="bb.parallel.Rdata", ...)
	saveObject(bb)
	#

	#Parallel process:
	#run as many process as you want
	library(galgo)
	loadObject("bb.parallel.Rdata")
	assignParallelFile(bb)
	blast(bb)
	#


	#Analysis Process:
	library(galgo)
	loadObject("bb.parallel.Rdata")
	loadParallelFiles(bb)
	#
	
# }
# NOT RUN {
 
# }
