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. Modern networking and concurrency, built on 'nanonext' and
'NNG', ensures reliable scheduling over fast inter-process
communications or TCP/IP secured by TLS. Launch remote resources via
SSH or cluster managers for distributed computing. Scales efficiently
to millions of tasks over thousands of connections, requiring no
storage on the file system due to its inherently queued architecture.
Innovative features include event-driven promises, asynchronous
parallel map, and seamless serialization of otherwise non-exportable
reference objects.
