title: 'doFuture: Use Foreach to Parallelize via the Future Framework'
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.doFuture
abstract: The 'future' package provides a unifying parallelization framework for R
  that supports many parallel and distributed backends <https://doi.org/10.32614/RJ-2021-048>.
  The 'foreach' package provides a powerful API for iterating over an R expression
  in parallel. The 'doFuture' package brings the best of the two together. There are
  three ways to use this package. The recommended approach is to use 'y <- foreach(...)
  %do% ... |> futurize()' via the 'futurize' package (<https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2601.17578>).
  The second alternative, which was formerly recommended, is to use 'y <- foreach(...)
  %dofuture% ... ', which does not require using 'registerDoFuture()' and has many
  advantages over '%dopar%'. The third alternative is the traditional 'foreach' approach
  by registering the 'foreach' adapter 'registerDoFuture()' and so that 'y <- foreach(...)
  %dopar% ... ' parallelizes with the 'future' framework.
