+ "The snow package provides support for simple parallel computing on a
+network of workstations using R. A master R process calls @code{makeCluster}
+to start a cluster of worker processes; the master process then uses functions
+such as @code{clusterCall} and @code{clusterApply} to execute R code on the
+worker processes and collect and return the results on the master.")
