title: 'shard: Deterministic, Zero-Copy Parallel Execution for R'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.shard
abstract: 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.
