title: 'mirai: Minimalist Async Evaluation Framework for R'
version: 2.6.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.mirai
abstract: Evaluates R expressions asynchronously and in parallel, locally or distributed
  across networks. An official parallel cluster type for R. Built on 'nanonext' and
  'NNG', its non-polling, event-driven architecture scales from a laptop to thousands
  of processes across high-performance computing clusters and cloud platforms. Features
  FIFO scheduling with task cancellation, promises for reactive programming, 'OpenTelemetry'
  distributed tracing, and custom serialization for cross-language data types.
