makeClusterFunctionsSocket

ClusterFunctions for Parallel Socket Execution

Jobs are spawned asynchronously using the package snow.

makeClusterFunctionsSocket(ncpus = NA_integer_, fs.latency = 65)

`ncpus`	[`integer(1)`] Number of CPUs. Default is to use all logical cores. The total number of cores "available" can be set via the option `mc.cores` and defaults to the heuristic implemented in `detectCores`.
`fs.latency`	[`numeric(1)`] Expected maximum latency of the file system, in seconds. Set to a positive number for network file systems like NFS which enables more robust (but also more expensive) mechanisms to access files and directories. Usually safe to set to `0` to disable the heuristic, e.g. if you are working on a local file system.
