Parallel Computing Toolkit brings parallel computation to anyone having access to more than one computer on a network or anyone working on multiprocessor machines.
It implements many parallel programming primitives and includes high-level commands for parallel execution of operations such as animation, plotting, and matrix manipulation. Also supported are many popular new programming approaches such as parallel Monte Carlo simulation, visualization, searching, and optimization. The implementations for all high-level commands in Parallel Computing Toolkit are provided in Mathematica source form, so they can serve as templates for building additional parallel programs.
Licensing Information
Licensing Information
On a network, Parallel Computing Toolkit needs a licensed Mathematica kernel for each process. On non-networked multiprocessor Macintosh and Windows computers, the Mathematica license agreement allows users of a single-machine license to run multiple kernels.
System Requirements:
Parallel Computing Toolkit requires Mathematica 4 or 5 and is available for Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Mac OS (for Mathematica 4 only), Mac OS X, Linux (PC, Alpha, PowerPC), Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, AIX, HP Tru64 Unix, and compatible systems. Creating active connections requires Mathematica for Windows or Unix/Linux on the master computer. Effective use of Parallel Computing Toolkit requires at least three available Mathematica processes. One process is for the master control, and two are for slave processes. With more processes (and matching processors) you can run a more parallel program.
