WaitNext

waits until the first evaluation represented by any of the

finishes, then returns its result, the corresponding

, and the list of remaining

The are EvaluationObject expressions obtained by submitting expressions for concurrent evaluation using ParallelSubmit.

WaitNext returns a list , where res is the result of the finished evaluation, eid is its EvaluationObject, and eids is the list of remaining evaluations.

The last element in the list produced by WaitNext is suitable for another call to WaitNext.

Submit a number of integer factorizations:

Wait until the fastest one is done:

Wait for the next one:

Finally, wait for all remaining ones:

Submit a number of integer factorizations:

Out[1]=

Wait until the fastest one is done:

Out[2]=

Wait for the next one:

Out[3]=

Finally, wait for all remaining ones:

Out[4]=

Test

for primality, returning $Failed if it is not prime:

Adaptively schedule search jobs to keep all kernels busy until a result has been found or the:

ParallelTry is essentially implemented in terms of WaitNext:

Scheduled evaluations no longer needed can be aborted with AbortKernels:

No more than $KernelCount evaluations are initially run to find the fastest one:

Each evaluation should be waited for exactly once:

One of the evaluation objects has already completed:
