parallel computing in R

Hi All,

I am wondering if there is a way to get the parent process id from the given process using "parallel" R package just like ppid in C and Linux. Any kind of help is appreciated.

Cheers!

I think bioinformatics is all about analyzing and visualizing the huge biological data in a computationally efficient way. As a result, I just wanted to ask some bioinformatics gurus how they deal with parallel computing when they face computationally intensive tasks like motif scanning and so on. Anyways, here is my apology if I detour from the topic. Cheers!
