Description

Hello, I came across this package that seems fabulous. I have a question, if this is not the right channel please let me know and I'll delete.
I use slurm and have been using rslurm. problem I found is a that results on each workers are stored as Rdata file and reloaded on master. Even by changing this to fst files this is problematic and slow. Can I ask if batchtools is using files too in the retrieving process?
Many thanks
