ocLapply: lapply-like function that parallelizes code when possible.

In oligoClasses: Classes for high-throughput arrays supported by oligo and crlmm

Description

ocLapply is an lapply-like function that checks if ff/snow are loaded and if the cluster variable is set to execute FUN on a cluster. If these requirements are not available, then lapply is used.

Usage

ocLapply(X, FUN, ..., neededPkgs)

Arguments

X	first argument to FUN.
FUN	function to be executed.
...	additional arguments to FUN.
neededPkgs	packages needed to execute FUN on the compute nodes.

Details

neededPkgs is needed when parallel computing is expected to be used. These packages are loaded on the compute nodes before the execution of FUN.

Value

A list of length length(X).
