\title{Enable parallel evaluation using registered dopar backend}
\description{
This class is used to dispatch parallel operations to the dopar
backend registered with the foreach package.
}
\usage{
DoparParam(stop.on.error=TRUE,
RNGseed = NULL)
}
\details{
\code{DoparParam} can be used for shared or non-shared memory computing
depending on what backend is loaded. The \code{doSNOW} package supports
non-shared memory, \code{doParallel} supports both shared and non-shared.
When not specified, the default number of workers in \code{DoparParam}
is determined by \code{getDoParWorkers()}. See the \code{foreach} package
vignette for details using the different backends:
\url{http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/foreach/vignettes/foreach.pdf}
}
\arguments{
\item{stop.on.error}{\code{logical(1)}} Stop all jobs as soon as one
jobs fails (\code{stop.on.error == TRUE}) or wait for all jobs
to terminate. Default is \code{TRUE}.
\item{RNGseed}{
\code{integer(1)} Seed for random number generation. The seed is
used to set a new, independent random number stream for each
element of \code{X}. The ith element recieves the same stream seed,
regardless of use of \code{SerialParam()}, \code{SnowParam()}, or
\code{MulticoreParam()}, and regardless of worker or task
number. When \code{RNGseed = NULL}, a random seed is used.
}
}
\section{DoparParam constructor}{
Return a proxy object that dispatches parallel evaluation to the
registered foreach parallel backend.
There are no options to the constructor. All configuration should be
done through the normal interface to the foreach parallel backends.
}
\section{Methods}{
The following generics are implemented and perform as documented on
the corresponding help page (e.g., \code{?bpisup}):
\code{\link{bpworkers}}, \code{\link{bpnworkers}},
\code{\link{bpstart}}, \code{\link{bpstop}}, \code{\link{bpisup}},
\code{\link{bpbackend}}, \code{\link{bpbackend<-}},
\code{\link{bpvec}}.
