The future R package provides a unified, simple API for evaluating R expressions asynchronously and in parallel across local, cluster, and cloud resources. It is the core of the Futureverse ecosystem, enabling parallelization of existing R code with minimal changes.
Use cases
- parallelize existing R code with minimal changes
- run R expressions asynchronously on a compute cluster
- speed up lapply or purrr map calls in R
- distribute R computations across HPC cluster nodes
- run foreach loops in parallel in R
When to choose
- you write R and want easy, cross-platform parallel or distributed processing
- you want a uniform API that works locally, on clusters, or in the cloud
- you want to parallelize apply/map/foreach code with minimal edits
When to avoid
- you need parallelism in a language other than R
- you need low-level control over thread scheduling or GPU kernels
