R Multi-core
The R package <A href=http://www.rforge.net/doc/packages/multicore/multicore.html>multicore</A> is developed for parallel execution of codes. In it, the command ‘parallel’ or ‘mcparallel’ starts parallel evaluation of an expression, and the command ‘collect’ collects results from those parallel executions. Additional low-level functions are available for communication between the main process and the child processes created for parallel execution.
