collectVector: Return a Distributed Vector to the Master Process
Description
collectVector retrieves a distributed vector from the slave
processes, reconstructing in the correct order on the master process.
Objects can be copied from environments, lists, and
ReferenceClass objects as well as the global environment on the slave processes.
Usage
collectVector(objName, objPos = '.GlobalEnv', n, h = 1)
Value
collectVector returns a vector of length, \(n\).
Arguments
objName
an object name, given as a character string, giving the name of the
object on the slave processes.
objPos
where to look for the object, given as a character string (unlike
get). This can indicate an environment, a list, or a ReferenceClass object.
n
a positive integer, the length of the vector.
h
a positive integer, the block replication factor, \(h\), relevant for the vector.
