Generate a suitable parallel processing plan — suitableParallelPlan • jfmisc

Generate a suitable parallel processing future plan for your session. See ?future::plan for more details on future plans.

Usage

suitableParallelPlan(
  strategy = NULL,
  workers = NULL,
  RAM_per_worker = 8,
  proportion_max_workers = 0.75
)

strategy: The parallel strategy to use. See ?future::plan for details. If NULL (the default), an appropriate strategy will be detected.
workers: The number of workers to use. If NULL, the arguments RAM_per_worker and proportion_max_workers will be used to calculate a suitable number of workers.
RAM_per_worker: The memory (in gigabytes) to allocate to each worker when calculating a suitable number of workers. Ignored if argument workers is not NULL.
proportion_max_workers: A value between 0 and 1. The maximum number of workers to allocate as a proportion of the total number of workers available (as detected by future::availableCores()). Ignored if argument workers is not NULL.
