getblocks: Get index blocks, with remainder handling

In metamaden/recountmethylationManuscriptSupplement: Supplement for the manuscript "Human methylome variation across Infinium 450K data on the Gene Expression Omnibus"

Description

Get index blocks, with remainder handling. This is used by scripts that process large data objects processively, in chunks/blocks of sample indices. Note the default block size of 50 is recommended for processes using entire array's worth of data (e.g. from an RGChannel set, getRed, getGreen, getMeth, getUnmeth, etc.), as test showed diminished performance with greater or lesser samples on typical compute systems.

Usage

getblocks(slength, bsize = 50)

Arguments

slength	Length of the index vector (integer)
bsize	The maximum block size (integer, default = 50).

Value

List of index blocks.
