Package: futurize
Version: 0.1.0
Title: Parallelize Common Functions via One Magic Function
Description: The futurize() function transpiles calls to sequential map-reduce functions such as base::lapply(), purrr::map(), 'foreach::foreach() %do% { ... }' into concurrent alternatives, providing you with a simple, straightforward path to scalable parallel computing via the 'future' ecosystem <doi:10.32614/RJ-2021-048>. By combining this function with R's native pipe operator, you have an convenient way for speeding up iterative computations with minimal refactoring, e.g. 'lapply(xs, fcn) |> futurize()', 'purrr::map(xs, fcn) |> futurize()', and 'foreach::foreach(x = xs) %do% { fcn(x) } |> futurize()'. Other map-reduce packages that be "futurized" are 'BiocParallel', 'plyr', 'crossmap' packages. There is also support for growing set of domain-specific packages, including 'boot', 'glmnet', 'mgcv', 'lme4', and 'tm'.
