R future recipes

The purpose of repo is to help myself remember important guides, examples, and best practices related to using the future framework in R, especially for parallelization.

General usage

• %dofuture% - a better foreach() parallelization operator than %dopar% - Comprehensive summary on the benefits of using the %dofuture% operator.

Nested loops

• %dofuture% documentation - Code examples section includes nested loops.
• Future topologies vignette - How to set plan() for each level.

Avoid using fork with RStudio

• Protect against using forked processes (aka "multicore") in RStudio
