Set up parallel cluster — setup_cluster • degen

Create a parallel cluster for use with degen functions.

Usage

setup_cluster(n_cores = NULL, type = c("PSOCK", "FORK"))

Arguments

n_cores: Number of cores to use. Default is parallel::detectCores() - 1
type: Cluster type: "PSOCK" (default, works on all platforms) or "FORK" (Unix only, more efficient)

Value

A cluster object, or NULL if parallel is not available

Examples

# \donttest{
cl <- setup_cluster(2)  # CRAN policy: max 2 cores
# Use cl with parallel-enabled functions
stop_cluster(cl)
# }
