Usage

1
xCheckParallel(multicores = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

multicores

an integer to specify how many cores will be registered as the multicore parallel backend to the 'foreach' package. If NULL, it will use a half of cores available in a user's computer

verbose

logical to indicate whether the messages will be displayed in the screen. By default, it sets to true for display
