Batchtools futures for LSF, OpenLava, SGE, Slurm, TORQUE etc.

Source: R/batchtools_template.R

Batchtools futures for LSF, OpenLava, SGE, Slurm, TORQUE etc. are asynchronous multiprocess futures that will be evaluated on a compute cluster via a job scheduler.

  expr,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  substitute = TRUE,
  globals = TRUE,
  label = NULL,
  template = NULL,

Arguments

expr

The R expression to be evaluated

envir

The environment in which global environment should be located.

substitute

Controls whether expr should be substitute():d or not.

globals

(optional) a logical, a character vector, a named list, or a Globals object. If TRUE, globals are identified by code inspection based on expr and tweak searching from environment envir. If FALSE, no globals are used. If a character vector, then globals are identified by lookup based their names globals searching from environment envir. If a named list or a Globals object, the globals are used as is.

label

(optional) Label of the future (where applicable, becomes the job name for most job schedulers).

template

(optional) A batchtools template file or a template string (in brew format). If not specified, it is left to the batchtools package to locate such file using its search rules.

resources

(optional) A named list passed to the batchtools template (available as variable resources). See Section 'Resources' in batchtools::submitJobs() more details.

workers

(optional) The maximum number of workers the batchtools backend may use at any time. Interactive and "local" backends can only process one future at the time (workers = 1L), whereas HPC backends, where futures are resolved via separate jobs on a scheduler, can have multiple workers. In the latter, the default is workers = NULL, which will resolve to getOption("future.batchtools.workers"). If neither are specified, then the default is 100.

registry

(optional) A named list of settings to control the setup of the batchtools registry.

...

Additional arguments passed to BatchtoolsFuture().

Value

An object of class BatchtoolsFuture.
