Mathematica automatically sets up the infrastructure for parallel computing on standard systems, and provides a variety of tools for sharing and synchronizing definitions ...

SetSharedVariable[s_1, s_2, ...] declares the symbols s_i as shared variables whose values are synchronized among all parallel kernels.

SetSharedFunction[f_1, f_2, ...] declares the symbols f_i as shared functions whose downvalues are synchronized among all parallel kernels.

If you have installed Mathematica in a location where multiple users can run it (for example, on a file server or multi-user machine), then you can set up systemwide defaults ...

DistributedContexts is an option for various parallel computing functions that specifies which definitions for symbols appearing in an expression should be distributed to all ...

$DistributedContexts is the default value of the DistributedContexts option of functions such as ParallelTable and ParallelMap.
