[R] on parallel package.....

[akshay kulkarni]

dear members,
                            I want to parallelize a scraping code. Is mclapply() and clusterApplyLB() similar in functionality? I read the documentation and noted that there is copious information on clusyterApplyLB(), but not much on mclapply (it just says that on Unix alikes mclapply "uses parallel oprations"). I have a AWS EC2 Linux instance. Can I substitute mclapply() for clusterApplyLB()? Where can I get more information on mclapply()?

any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
