mirai: Minimalist Async Evaluation Framework for R
Evaluates R expressions asynchronously and in parallel,
locally or distributed across networks. An official parallel cluster
type for R. Built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG', its non-polling,
event-driven architecture scales from a laptop to thousands of
processes across high-performance computing clusters and cloud
platforms. Features FIFO scheduling with task cancellation, promises
for reactive programming, 'OpenTelemetry' distributed tracing, and
custom serialization for cross-language data types.
