Parallel processing - assess MCE #430

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Many of the Biodiverse analyses are ludicrously parallel in nature, so parallel 
processing would result in speed gains in many cases.  

MCE looks to be a useful approach.  It installs on Windows using cpanm, but 
there are no cpan testers results that I could see.

As a start, uses of map and grep might be sped up where the block is complex.

Don't call a method on an undef value.  Part of the experimentation to get MCE 
working with Biodiverse, albeit it appears that MCE does not like unsuccessful 
eval calls.
