I tried to google "r package parallel" but I have not found it on CRAN. I also tried the following links, but they do not work:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/parallel/index.html
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/parallel
http://cran.r-project.org/package=parallel
It is also absent in the list of available.packages()
.
But apparently the package parallel
does exist! :-) I have it in the list of my packages and it even has its own tag here :-)
The parallel package from R 2.14. 0 and later provides functions for parallel execution of R code on machines with multiple cores or processors or multiple computers. It is essentially a blend of the snow and multicore packages. By default, the doParallel package uses snow-like function- ality.
Installing the CRAN packages with the menuIn RStudio go to Tools → Install Packages and in the Install from option select Repository (CRAN) and then specify the packages you want. In classic R IDE go to Packages → Install package(s) , select a mirror and install the package.
Currently, the CRAN package repository features 18549 available packages. CRAN Task Views aim to provide some guidance which packages on CRAN are relevant for tasks related to a certain topic. They provide tools to automatically install all packages from each view.
Is this because it is inside r-core since 2.14.0 ?
