Description : GNU R parallel execution backend for %dopar% using snow
This is a second backend for the recently-introduced 'foreach' framework for
R. Besides r-cran-domc, which uses multicore and cannot span execution
across single meachines, this provides a backend for foreach's %dopar%
operator that uses the robust and well-tested snow package by Luke Tierney et
al (provided in r-cran-snow).
