R.cache-package {R.cache} | R Documentation |
Methods for caching arbitrary R objects on persistent media. Objects can be loaded and saved stratified on a set of hashing objects.
Warning: The Application Programming Interface (API) of the classes and methods in this package may change. Classes and methods are considered either to be stable, or to be in beta or alpha (pre-beta) stage.
For package history, see showHistory(R.cache)

This package requires the R.oo [1] and R.utils packages. For automatic generation of cache filenames, which is the most common usage of this package, the CRAN package digest is also required.

Here is a list of features that would be useful, but which I have too little time to add myself. Contributions are appreciated.
If you consider implement some of the above, make sure it is not already implemented by downloading the latest "devel" version!

function
in the Biobase package of Bioconductor.
