RemoteRef()

RemoteRef()

Make an uninitialized remote reference on the local machine.

Examples

jldoctest
julia> r = RemoteRef(2)
RemoteRef(2, 0x0000000000000002)

Common examples of its use:

1. Create a RemoteRef on a specific process:

   julia> r = RemoteRef(3)
   RemoteRef(3, 0x0000000000000003)

   This example creates an uninitialized RemoteRef on process 3.

2. Use RemoteRef for distributed computations:

   julia> addprocs(2)  # Start 2 additional worker processes
   julia> @everywhere function myfunction()
             r = RemoteRef(myid())
             # Perform distributed computations using r
             # ...
          end
   
   julia> @everywhere myfunction()

   In this example, RemoteRef is used to create a reference on each worker process for performing distributed computations.

3. Combine RemoteRef with other distributed constructs:

   julia> addprocs(2)
   julia> @everywhere function myfunction()
             r = RemoteRef(myid())
             # Combine with other distributed constructs like @spawn, @distributed, etc.
             # ...
          end
   
   julia> @everywhere myfunction()

   Here, RemoteRef can be used in combination with other distributed constructs like @spawn, @distributed, etc., for parallel and distributed programming.

Note: It is important to note that RemoteRef creates an uninitialized remote reference. To use it effectively, it should be combined with other distributed constructs or passed to remote functions for meaningful computations.
