bpmapply: Parallel mapply-like functionality

In BiocParallel: Bioconductor facilities for parallel evaluation

Description

bpmapply applies FUN to first elements of ..., the second elements and so on. Any type of object in ... is allowed, provided length, [, and [[ methods are available. The return value is a list of length equal to the length of all objects provided, as with mapply.

Usage

bpmapply(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, SIMPLIFY=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE,
    BPREDO=list(), BPPARAM=bpparam())

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,missing'
bpmapply(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, SIMPLIFY=TRUE, 
    USE.NAMES=TRUE, BPREDO=list(), BPPARAM=bpparam())

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,BiocParallelParam'
bpmapply(FUN, ..., MoreArgs=NULL, 
    SIMPLIFY=TRUE, USE.NAMES=TRUE, BPREDO=list(), BPPARAM=bpparam())

Arguments

FUN	The function to be applied to each element passed via ....
...	Objects for which methods length, [, and [[ are implemented. All objects must have the same length or shorter objects will be replicated to have length equal to the longest.
MoreArgs	List of additional arguments to FUN.
SIMPLIFY	If TRUE the result will be simplified using simplify2array.
USE.NAMES	If TRUE the result will be named.
BPPARAM	An optional BiocParallelParam instance defining the parallel back-end to be used during evaluation.
BPREDO	A list of output from bpmapply with one or more failed elements. When a list is given in BPREDO, bpok is used to identify errors, tasks are rerun and inserted into the original results.

Details

See methods{bpmapply} for additional methods, e.g., method?bpmapply("MulticoreParam").

Examples

methods("bpmapply")

fun <- function(greet, who) {
    paste(Sys.getpid(), greet, who)
}
greet <- c("morning", "night")
who <- c("sun", "moon")

param <- bpparam()
original <- bpworkers(param)
bpworkers(param) <- 2
result <- bpmapply(fun, greet, who, BPPARAM = param)
cat(paste(result, collapse="\n"), "\n")
bpworkers(param) <- original
