Distributed Mathematica

RISC-Linz logo

Distributed Mathematica is a system for writing parallel programs in the computer algebra system Mathematica. It allows to create concurrent task and have them executed by Mathematica kernels running on different machines of a network. The system consists of two components:

  1. A Java class library which implements a general purpose communication framework and scheduling mechanism for distributed applications. This is the same class library used by the package "Distributed Maple", written by Wolfgang Schreiner.
  2. A binding that allows to access the Java scheduler from Mathematica and implements a parallel programming model on top.
