assignParallelFile.BigBang {galgo}R Documentation

Assigns a different saveFile value for parallelization

Description

Assigns a different saveFile value for parallelization. The assignation is done looking for a existing filename with a consecutive number starting from 1. If a filename with a particular consecutive number is not found, it is assigned.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'BigBang':
assignParallelFile(bb,
        save=TRUE,
        prefix="parallel-",
        use.random=TRUE,
        compatibilize=TRUE,
        ...)

Arguments

save Specify to save the file to ``lock'' the name and avoid other parallel process to use it. Defaults to true.
prefix Prefix used in the parallel files for identification. Defaults to ``parallel-''.
use.random Specify if an integer random value between 0 and 9999 is added to avoid duplicated filenames in parallel process started at the same time. Defaults to true.

Value

Returns the file name assigned to the bigbang object for parallelization.

        #Initial process:
        #load data and configure initial objects, run once
        library(galgo)
        bb <- configBB.varSel(..., saveFile="bb.parallel.Rdata", ...)
        saveObject(bb)
        #

        #Parallel process:
        #run as many process as you want
        library(galgo)
        loadObject("bb.parallel.Rdata")
        assignParallelFile(bb)
        blast(bb)
        #

        #Analysis Process:
        library(galgo)
        loadObject("bb.parallel.Rdata")
        loadParallelFiles(bb)
