In AnalytixWare/gosocket: gosocket allows goroutine-like non-blocking executon of code on socket server

Use the future package

The functionality demonstrated in this toy example is better implemented in the future package already.

gosocket

Allows for simple go-routine like execution of code (as in syntax but NOT in lightweight-ness) in a non-blocking manner on socket server.

Install

install.packages("devtools") #if not already installed
devtools::install_github("AnalytixWare/gosocket")

Usage

library(gosocket)
system.time(gs <- go.socket("z <- rnorm(10^8)")) # go.socket is non-blocking the rest of the code will execute almost immediately
print("Don't have to wait for it to finish") 
evalServer.nb(gs$con,"summary(z)") # to retrieve the results; this is blocking
print("The above you have to wait for!")
close.go.socket(gs) # good practise to close the go.socket
