For nativo in R

numbers <- 1:1e6

sqroots <- rep(0, length(numbers))

for (i in 1:length(numbers)) {
  sqroots[i] <- sqrt(numbers[i])
}

Il ciclo foreach

numbers <- 1:1e6

library(foreach)


sqroots <- foreach(i = numbers) %do% {
  sqrt(i)
}

Cicli paralleli

numbers <- 1:1e6

sqroots <- foreach(i = numbers) %do% {
  sqrt(i)
}

cl <- makeCluster(4)


library(doParallel)
registerDoParallel(cl)


sqroots <- foreach(i = numbers
                   # L'operatore parallelo
                  ) %dopar% {
  sqrt(i)
}

Raccogliere risultati con foreach

Leggi, filtra e unisci

library(dplyr)

n_unis <- 3


# Lista vuota
ls_df <- list()


for (i in 1:length(uni_list)) {
  # Leggi, filtra, inserisci nella lista
  ls_df[[i]] <- read.csv(uni_list[[i]]) %>%
    top_n(n_unis, total_score)

}

# Unisci la lista in un unico df
combined_df <- Reduce("rbind", ls_df)

foreach vince su tutto

n_unis <- 3


cl <- makeCluster(4)
registerDoParallel(cl)


df_top3 <- foreach(csv = uni_list,

                   .packages = "dplyr",

                   .export = "n_unis",
