Registers a finalizer to a cluster such that the cluster will be stopped when garbage collected
autoStopCluster(cl, debug = FALSE)A cluster object created by for instance makeClusterPSOCK()
or parallel::makeCluster().
If TRUE, then debug messages are produced when the cluster is garbage collected.
The cluster object with attribute gcMe set.
The cluster is stopped using
stopCluster(cl).
An alternative to explicitly call this function on an existing
cluster object, is to create the cluster object using
makeClusterPSOCK() with argument autoStop = TRUE.
cl <- makeClusterPSOCK(2, dryrun = TRUE)
