Minimalist Async Evaluation Framework for R

v2.7.1 · Jun 1, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Evaluates R expressions asynchronously and in parallel, locally or distributed across networks. An official parallel cluster type for R. Built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG', its non-polling, event-driven architecture scales from a laptop to thousands of processes across high-performance computing clusters and cloud platforms. Features FIFO scheduling with task cancellation and bounded queues, promises for reactive programming, 'OpenTelemetry' distributed tracing, and custom serialization for cross-language data types.
