Get BiocParallel parameters

Description

Get (and optionally register) BiocParallel parameter (BPPARAM). SnowParam is the default function as it tends to be more robust. However, because it doesn't work on Windows, this function automatically detected the Operating System and switches to SerialParam as needed.

Usage

get_bpparam(
  workers,
  progressbar = workers > 1,
  use_snowparam = TRUE,
  register_now = FALSE
)

Arguments

`workers`	Number of threads to parallelize across.
`progressbar`	`logical(1)` Enable progress bar (based on plyr:::progress_text).
`use_snowparam`	Whether to use SnowParam (default: `TRUE`) or MulticoreParam (`FALSE`) when parallelising across multiple `workers`.
`register_now`	Register the cores now with register (`TRUE`), or simply return the `BPPARAM object` (default: `FALSE`).
