Enable serial evaluation

Description

This class is used to parameterize serial evaluation, primarily to facilitate easy transition from parallel to serial code.

Usage

SerialParam(catch.errors = TRUE) 

Arguments

Flag to determine in apply-like functions (see e.g. bplapply) whether to quit with an error as soon as one application fails or encapsulation of function calls in try blocks which triggers a resume mechanism (see bpresume). Defaults to TRUE.

SerialParam constructor

Return an object to be used for serial evaluation of otherwise parallel functions such as bplapply, bpvec.

Methods

The following generics are implemented and perform as documented on the corresponding help page (e.g., ?bpworkers): bpworkers. bpisup, bpstart, bpstop, are implemented, but do not have any side-effects.
