A Distributed Worker Launcher Framework

In computationally demanding analysis projects, statisticians and data scientists asynchronously deploy long-running tasks to distributed systems, ranging from traditional clusters to cloud services. The 'NNG'-powered 'mirai' R package by Gao (2023) is a sleek and sophisticated scheduler that efficiently processes these intense workloads. The 'crew' package extends 'mirai' with a unifying interface for third-party worker launchers. Inspiration also comes from packages.
