How do I document parallel computations within knitr implemented in Rstudio?

Question

I'm coding an agent-based simulation. I plan to run parallel instances of the simulation to reduce computing time. I will use the parallel package. I want to document my code using knitr. Before I start, I'd like to confirm whether there will be any issues running the parallel package's functions from within a Markdown or Sweave document that I compile with knitr.

Answer 1

It works...

Parallel Example in RStudio as run via knitr after being written in R markdown...

```{r parallel-do}
library(foreach)
library(parallel)
library(doParallel)
demo(sincParallel)
````
