makeForkCluster with random seed set — makeClusterRandom • pemisc

This will set different random seeds on the clusters (not the default) with makeForkCluster. It also defaults to creating a logfile with message of where it is.

makeClusterRandom(
  ...,
  type = "SOCK",
  iseed = NULL,
  libraries = NULL,
  objects = NULL,
  envir = parent.frame()
)

makeForkClusterRandom(..., iseed = NULL)

makeSockClusterRandom(..., iseed = NULL)

Arguments

...: passed to makeCluster, e.g.,
type: One of the supported types: see ‘Details’.
iseed: passed to clusterSetRNGStream
libraries: A character vector of libraries to load in the SOCK cluster. This is ignored if a "FORK" cluster
objects: a character string of objects that are required inside the SOCK cluster. Ignored if type != "SOCK"
envir: Required if objects is passed. The environment where objects are found.
