UniprocessFuture-class: An uniprocess future is a future whose value will be resolved synchronously in the current process

Description

An uniprocess future is a future whose value will be resolved synchronously in the current process

Usage

UniprocessFuture(
  expr = NULL,
  substitute = TRUE,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  globals = TRUE,
  packages = NULL,
  lazy = FALSE,
  local = TRUE,
  ...
)
SequentialFuture(
  expr = NULL,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  substitute = TRUE,
  lazy = FALSE,
  globals = TRUE,
  local = TRUE,
  ...
)
TransparentFuture(
  expr = NULL,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  substitute = TRUE,
  lazy = FALSE,
  globals = TRUE,
  local = FALSE,
  ...
)

Value

UniprocessFuture() returns an object of class UniprocessFuture.

SequentialFuture() returns an object of class SequentialProcess, which inherits from UniprocessFuture.

Arguments

expr: An R expression.
substitute: If TRUE, argument expr is substitute():ed, otherwise not.
envir: The environment from where global objects should be identified.
globals: (optional) a logical, a character vector, or a named list to control how globals are handled. For details, see section 'Globals used by future expressions' in the help for future().
packages: (optional) a character vector specifying packages to be attached in the R environment evaluating the future.
lazy: If FALSE (default), the future is resolved eagerly (starting immediately), otherwise not.
local: If TRUE, the expression is evaluated such that all assignments are done to local temporary environment, otherwise the assignments are done to the global environment of the R process evaluating the future.
...: Additional named elements passed to Future().

Usage

To use 'sequential' futures, use plan(sequential), cf. sequential.
