GNU R enhancing the 'parallel' package
Utility functions that enhance the 'parallel' package and support the
built-in parallel backends of the 'future' package. For example,
availableCores() gives the number of CPU cores available to your R
process as given by R options and environment variables, including those
set by job schedulers on high-performance compute clusters. If none is
set, it will fall back to parallel::detectCores(). Another example is
makeClusterPSOCK(), which is backward compatible with
parallel::makePSOCKcluster() while doing a better job in setting up
remote cluster workers without the need for configuring the firewall to
do port-forwarding to your local computer.
