Re: [R-pkg-devel] callr and CRAN policy on the max number of cores

Two parallel processes are okay, so you can use two callr background processes ("children"), as long as you don't do heavy computations on the main R process ("parent"). This is commonly done in many R packages, e.g. library(parallel) cl <- makeCluster(2) y <- parLapply(cl = cl, X = 1:10, fun = sl

[R-pkg-devel] callr and CRAN policy on the max number of cores

2024-05-22 Thread Shu Fai Cheung
Hil, I am exploring the use of callr in a package. I know that for packages that do parallel computing, we should not use more than two cores in examples, tests, etc. when being checked on CRAN. I believe I can use callr in tests and examples. How should I use callr in compliance with CRAN policy
