Description:
Provides a parallel execution runtime for R that emphasizes deterministic memory behavior and efficient handling of large shared inputs. 'shard' enables zero-copy parallel reads via shared/memory-mapped segments, encourages explicit output buffers to avoid large result aggregation, and supervises worker processes to mitigate memory drift via controlled recycling. Diagnostics report peak memory usage, end-of-run memory return, and hidden copy/materialization events to support reproducible performance benchmarking.
