Generic Reproducible Parallel Backend for foreach Loops
Description
The doRNG package provides functions to perform
reproducible parallel foreach loops, using independent
random streams as generated by L'Ecuyer's combined
multiple-recursive generator [L'Ecuyer (1999)]. It
enables to easily convert standard
fully reproducible loops, independently of the number of
workers, the task scheduling strategy, or the chosen
parallel environment and associated foreach backend. It
has been tested with the following foreach backend: doMC,
doSNOW, doMPI.
