A Unifying Framework for Parallel and Distributed Processing in R using Futures
Open accessAbstract
A future is a programming construct designed for concurrent and asynchronous evaluation of code, making it particularly useful for parallel processing.The future package implements the Future API for programming with futures in R.This minimal API provides sufficient constructs for implementing parallel versions of well-established, high-level map-reduce APIs.The future ecosystem supports exception handling, output and condition relaying, parallel random number generation, and automatic identification of globals lowering the threshold to parallelize code.The Future API bridges parallel frontends with parallel backends, following the philosophy that end-users are the ones who choose the parallel backend while the developer focuses on what to parallelize.A variety of backends exist, and third-party contributions meeting the specifications, which ensure that the same code works on all backends, are automatically supported.The future framework solves several problems not addressed by other parallel frameworks in R.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
