mirai: Minimalist Async Evaluation Framework for R
Designed for simplicity, a 'mirai' evaluates an R expression asynchronously in a parallel process, locally or distributed over the network, with the result automatically available upon completion. Modern networking and concurrency built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG' (Nanomsg Next Gen) ensure reliable and efficient scheduling, over fast inter-process communications or TCP/IP secured by TLS. Advantages include being inherently queued thus handling many more tasks than available processes, no storage on the file system, support for otherwise non-exportable reference objects, an event-driven promises implementation, and built-in asynchronous parallel map.
