Parallel & Grid Computing
Mathematica's general
MathLink symbolic communication protocol immediately allows both platform-independent client-server operation—as well as parallel computation in which both data and programs can be exchanged seamlessly between
Mathematica kernels. Building on these foundations, grid
Mathematica provides a full environment for parallel computing, with fully integrated parallel-computation functions and advanced grid-management support.
