a mcparallel/mccollect example

An example of mcparallel/mccollect to perform parallel tasks by creating external tasks.

library(parallel)

loop_function <- function (name, duration) {
start_time <- date()
i <- 0
while (i < duration) {
i <- i + 1
}
return (paste("Done: Job: ", name, "from", start_time, " to ", date()))
}
jobs_parallel <- lapply(1:9, function(x) mcparallel(loop_function(x, 3000000), name = x))
mccollect(jobs_parallel)
jobs_serial <- lapply(1:9, function(x) loop_function(x, 3000000))
jobs_serial

After installing Rtools and fixing the PATH, you can use RStudio to build the packages. The built packages can be used in R too:

install.packages("path/to/the/package", type="source")
