Dear Bioc team, I'd like to ask for your advice on the parallelization within a Bioc package. Please point me to a better place if this mailing list is not appropriate. After a bit of thinking I decided that I'd like to parallelize processing at the level of C++ code. Would you strongly recommend not to and use an R approach instead (e.g. "future")? If parallel C++ is ok, what would be the best solution for all major OSs? My initial choice was OpenMP, but then it seems that Apple has something against it (https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/). My own dev environment is mostly Big Sur/ARM64, but I wouldn't want to drop its support anyway.
(On the actual task: loading and specific processing of very large BAM files, ideally significantly faster than by means of Rsamtools as a backend) Best, Oleksii Nikolaienko [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ Bioc-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioc-devel
