I have seen references on this list to "chunking" parallel tasks. If I am
interpreting this correctly that is to decrease the overhead of multiple
system calls. For instance, if I  have a loop of 10000 simple tasks and 10
processors, then 10 chunks of 1000 would be processed.

Which of the parallel packages has the ability to take "chunk" (or its
equivalent) as an argument? I've googled chunk with R and come up with
everything but want I'm interested in.

Thanks,
Mark
