parallel {DQAstats}

parallel helper function

Description

Internal function to initialize the parallel backend.

Usage

parallel(parallel, logfile_dir, ncores)

Arguments

parallel

A boolean. If TRUE, initializing a future::plan() for running the code (default: FALSE).

logfile_dir

The absolute path to folder where the logfile will be stored default(tempdir()).

ncores

A integer. The number of cores to use. Caution: you would probably like to choose a low number when operating on large datasets. Default: 2.

Value

No return value. Depending on the specified arguments, this function enables a parallel backend for faster computations.

Examples

parallel(parallel = FALSE, logfile_dir = tempdir(), ncores = 1)
