Overview

About

Maintained by Myles LewisFirst published 2024-09-261 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Tools for monitoring progress during parallel processing. Lightweight package which acts as a wrapper around mclapply() and adds a progress bar to it in 'RStudio' or 'Linux' environments. Simply replace your original call to mclapply() with pmclapply(). A progress bar can also be displayed during parallelisation via the 'foreach' package. Also included are functions to safely print messages (including error messages) from within parallelised code, which can be useful for debugging parallelised R code.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-mcprogress

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-mcprogress

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-mcprogress

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
