findConfFile {pulsar}

find config file

Description

Find a default config file. First calls batchtools::findConfFile and then find a pulsar default.

Usage

findConfFile(name = "")

Arguments

name

name of default config or path to config file.

Details

See the batchtools functions batchtools::findConfFile and batchtools::makeRegistry. When calling batch.pulsar, we attempt to use batchtool's default lookup for a config file before calling pulsar::findConfFile.

For clusters with a queuing submission system, a template file, for defining worker node resources and executing the batch R code, will need to be defined somewhere on the system. See findTemplateFile.

Examples

## Default config file provided by pulsar runs code in interactive mode
## This is for testing purposes and executes serially.
findConfFile()
## Use the parallel package
## slower than providing the 'ncores' argument to pulsar function, due to
## the overhead of creating the batchtools registry.
findConfFile('parallel')

## Use the snow package to register/execute batch jobs on socket clusters.
findConfFile('snow')
## Use a TORQUE / PBS queing system. Requires brew template file.
findConfFile('torque')
