Open a Parallel Cluster

Description

Opens a parallel cluster for computation, registers it for parallel operations, and ensures its closure on script exit.

Usage

openCluster(cluster.type = "SOCK", np = 2, progBar = TRUE, debugging = FALSE)

Arguments

`cluster.type`	A character string specifying the type of cluster. Accepted values are "SOCK", "FORK", or "MPI".
`np`	An integer specifying the number of processes to be used in the parallel cluster.
`progBar`	logical. If TRUE a progress bar is shown.
`debugging`	logical. For developer use.

Value

An object representing the parallel cluster.

Examples

## Not run: 
  # Open a SOCK cluster with 4 cores
  cls <- openCluster("SOCK", 4)
  # Your parallel computation code here
  # The cluster will automatically close when the script exits

## End(Not run)
