This directory contains R scripts that demonstrate the "multicore"
package, and are based on examples in chapter three of the book
"Parallel R".

The example scripts can be executed using a command such as:

  % R --slave -f mclapply.R

or using the "source" function within an R session:

  > source('mclapply.R')

Example scripts:

  mclapply.R            Using mclapply to implement parallel kmeans
  mccores.R             The mc.cores argument
  mcsetseed.R           The mc.setseed argument
  mcpreschedule.R       The mc.preschedule argument
  mcpvec.R              Example use of the pvec function
  mcparallelcollect.R   Example use of the parallel and collect functions
  mcrng.R               Using a parallel RNG with multicore
  mclowlevel.R          Using the low-level API to implement a stripped-
                        down version of the mclapply function.
