$KernelID

$KernelID
is a unique ID number assigned to each running parallel kernel.
  • The value of $KernelID for the master kernel is 0.
  • The value of $KernelID for each subkernel is a distinct positive integer, assigned when the kernel is launched.
  • Values of $KernelID are unique but not necessarily contiguous.
