Lightweight parallel code execution and distributed computing. Designed for simplicity, a 'mirai' evaluates an R expression asynchronously, on local or network resources, resolving automatically upon completion. State of the art networking and concurrency via 'nanonext' and 'NNG' (Nanomsg Next Gen) offers reliable and efficient scheduling over fast inter-process communications or TCP/IP secured by TLS.
For local mirai requests, the default transport for inter-process communications is platform-dependent: abstract Unix domain sockets on Linux, Unix domain sockets on MacOS, Solaris and other POSIX platforms, and named pipes on Windows.
This may be overriden, if desired, by specifying 'url' in the
daemons interface and launching daemons using
launch_local.
