Description
https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing.html has:
- "The BatchJobs package provides Map, Reduce and Filter variants to manage R jobs and their results on batch computing systems like PBS/Torque, LSF and Sun Grid Engine. Multicore and SSH systems are also supported. The BatchExperiments package extends it with an abstraction layer for running statistical experiments. Package batchtools is a successor / extension to both."
I think it would be worth giving batchtools a more prominent front here and move BatchJobs to the backseat.

Research direction
Start with the linked CRAN HighPerformanceComputing task view and review the entries for batchtools, BatchJobs, and BatchExperiments. Update the task view so batchtools has greater prominence and BatchJobs is moved to a secondary position; confirm the published page reflects the requested ordering and emphasis.
