The simworkr package provides a simulation framework for running distributed R computations. The worker nodes obtain computation jobs from a central Redis server. Results are then sent to the Redis database to be stored. Researchers can retrieve and aggregate completed simulation results at any moment in time.
The package was created to support the longitudinal cluster method evaluation as part of the COVID-19 longitudinal cluster analysis case study. The code used in the package is derived from an earlier simulation study on comparing methods for longitudinal clustering.
This package depends on the rredis package, which is no longer being developed, although still functional (for now). If there is sufficient interest, I will update the simworkr package to use the redux package instead of the defunct rredis package.
