Worker Loop

library(rush)

worker_loop = function(rush) {
  while (!rush$terminated) {

    xs = list(x = runif(1L))
    key = rush$push_running_tasks(xss = list(xs))

    ys = list(y = sqrt(xs$x))
    rush$finish_tasks(key, yss = list(ys))
  }
}

Rush Manager

config = redux::redis_config()

rush = rsh(network_id = "my_network", config = config)
