Registers a parallel backend for multi core processing. The number of cores will be detected automatically, unless specified otherwise.
registerParallelBackend(cores = NULL, logical = TRUE)
cores | the number of cores to use for multi core processing |
---|---|
logical | whether to consider logical or physical cores |
if (FALSE) { # detect logical cores automatically registerParallelBackend() # use four physical cores numCores <- 4 registerParallelBackend(numCores, logical = FALSE) }
