Hello,
Can I do the following? Is parallel:::clusterApplyLB() designed to
work like this? The code below is for illustrative purposes only.
library(parallel)
myFunction<-function(myPar1, myPar2, ...) {
clusterApplyLB(myCluster, x, otherFunction, otherPar1=myPar1,
otherPar2=myPar2, ....)
}
otherFunction<-function(otherPar1, otherPar2, ...) {
someFunction(somePar1, ....)
}
someFunction<-function(somePar1, somePar2=NULL, somePar3=someVal) {
##Do some stuff
}
myFunction( myVal1, myVal2, somePar2=myVal3, somePar3=myVal4)
The intention is that myVal3 and myVal4 get passed to someFunction()
through clusterApplyLB if they are specified.
Best Regards,
Slava

[Rd] Can I use "..." in parallel:::clusterApplyLB?

The code below is for illustrative purposes only.It is designed to work with standard R semantics. For ... those are quite complex, and you may have to force evaluation before sending to the workers: that is easy to do, and there are examples in package boot.> library(parallel) > > myFunction<-function(myPar1, myPar2, ...) { > > clusterApplyLB(myCluster, x, otherFunction, otherPar1=myPar1, > otherPar2=myPar2, ....) > > > } > > > otherFunction<-function(otherPar1, otherPar2, ...) { > > someFunction(somePar1, ....) > > }Well, that will not work.
