fmParallelStrategy: Utility function for selecting appropriate parallel strategy...

In Boehringer-Ingelheim/FutureManager: Background Operations in Shiny

Description

Utility function for selecting appropriate parallel strategy for FutureManager.

Usage

fmParallelStrategy()

Details

For a better performance, this function returns a multicore strategy for future plan. You may experience a long app startup time and some lag when running background processes using RStudio, because it uses multisession strategy.

See multicore and multisession for further details.

Note that you are not obliged to set the parallel strategy using fmParallelBackend. You can simply run plan(future::multicore) or plan(future::multicore).

Value

Returns a multicore parallel strategy if it is supported, or multisession if forking is not available in a given environment.

Examples

plan(fmParallelStrategy())
