title: Parallel and Multicore Processing in R
body: <p>This is towards the extreme in R's capabilities I think, but here goes...</p>
  
  <p>I'm doing some heavy processing in R in which I've written a function which does all the leg work from a single call. However, I'd like to thread or utilise more than a single core. </p>
  
  <p>I've looked at the Parallel package, which comes up as deprecated. I'd ideally like to call function as a new thread. </p>
  
  <p>I understand the complexities of parallel computing and that it's not the easiest thing in the world, but I'd appreciate it if anyone knew of some packages that would be useful or anything I've overlooked. </p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
