Designed for simplicity, a 'mirai' evaluates an R expression asynchronously in a parallel process, locally or distributed over the network. Modern networking and concurrency, built on 'nanonext' and 'NNG', ensures reliable scheduling over fast inter-process communications or TCP/IP secured by TLS. Launch remote resources via SSH or cluster managers for distributed computing. Scales efficiently to millions of tasks over thousands of connections, requiring no storage on the file system due to its inherently queued architecture. Innovative features include event-driven promises, asynchronous parallel map, and seamless serialization of otherwise non-exportable reference objects.
