$ConfiguredKernels

$ConfiguredKernels
is the default list of kernels that are configured to be launched for parallel computing.

DetailsDetails

  • On a multicore computer the list typically includes as many local kernels as there are cores, up to a limit defined by license availability.
  • Additional configurations for kernels on remote machines can be made available with the Wolfram Lightweight Grid and the Cluster Integration Package.
  • When no kernels are running, LaunchKernels uses $ConfiguredKernels as the default.
