Set foreach Backend

util_backend(par = FALSE, ncores = NULL, backend = "doParallel", sock = TRUE)

Arguments

par	Logical. If `TRUE`, use multiple cores.
ncores	Integer. Number of cores to use if `par = TRUE`. If unspecified, defaults to `detectCores() - 1`.
backend	Character string. `foreach` backend. The following are currently available: `"doParallel"`, and `"doMC"`. If the current operating system is Windows, and `backend = "doMC"` backend is changed to `"doParallel"`.
sock	Logical. If `backend = "doParallel"`, you have two parallel options. If `TRUE`, uses sockets. If `FALSE`, uses forking. If the current operating system is Windows, `sock = TRUE` is enforced.
