parLoadModule function

Dynamically load JAGS modules on parallel workers

A JAGS module is a dynamically loaded library that extends the functionality of JAGS. These functions load and unload JAGS modules and show the names of the currently loaded modules on parallel workers.

parLoadModule(cl, name, path, quiet=FALSE)
parUnloadModule(cl, name, quiet=FALSE)
parListModules(cl)

Arguments

• cl: a cluster object created by the parallel package.
• name: character, name of the module to be loaded
• path: file path to the location of the DLL. If omitted, the option jags.moddir is used to locate the modules. it can be a vector of length length(cl) to set different DLL locations on each worker
• quiet: a logical. If TRUE, no message will be printed about loading the module
