Saving multiple outputs of foreach dopar loop

by

Don’t try to use side-effects with foreach or any other parallel program package. Instead, return all of the values from the body of the foreach loop in a list. If you want your final result to be a list of two lists rather than a list of 100,000 lists, then specify a combine function that transposes the results:

comb <- function(x, ...) {
  lapply(seq_along(x),
    function(i) c(x[[i]], lapply(list(...), function(y) y[[i]])))
}

oper <- foreach(i=1:10, .combine="comb", .multicombine=TRUE,
                .init=list(list(), list())) %dopar% {
  list(i+2, i+3)
}

oper1 <- oper[[1]]
oper2 <- oper[[2]]

Note that this combine function requires the use of the .init argument to set the value of x for the first invocation of the combine function.
