Description

Define a cluster to use.

Usage

define_cluster(cores = "mc.cores", ...)

Arguments

cores	The argument to use to define the number of cores. This is useful for cases with nested parallelizations.
...	Advanced arguments are: mc.cores If 1 (default), then SerialParam will be used. If greater than 1, then it specifies the number of workers for SnowParam. mc.log Passed to log when using SnowParam. BPPARAM.custom If specified, that's the BPPARAM that will be used.

Details

This function is used internally in many functions.

Value

A BiocParallel *Param object

Examples

## Use SerialParam()
define_cluster(mc.cores = 1)

## Note that BPPARAM.custom takes precedence
define_cluster(mc.cores = 2, BPPARAM.custom = BiocParallel::SerialParam())
