RemoteKernelOpen

RemoteKernelOpen[spec]

launches a kernel with the given specification.

RemoteKernelOpen[{spec₁,spec₂,…}]

launches kernels in parallel.

Details and Options

RemoteKernelOpen is used by LaunchKernels to start a parallel kernel with the Lightweight Grid protocol.
The argument to RemoteKernelOpen can be a hostname, a Lightweight Grid Manager URL, a RemoteServicesAgent expression, or a RemoteService expression.
Use RemoteKernelClose or RemoteKernelCloseAll to close the kernel.
With the default setting "LocalLinkMode"->"Connect", the remote kernel creates a link and Mathematica connects to it. With "LocalLinkMode"->"Create", Mathematica creates a link and the remote kernel connects to it. Some network configurations do not allow Mathematica to connect to links created on the remote computer, requiring "LocalLinkMode" -> "Create" to establish a connection.
The following options can be given:

"LocalLinkMode"	"Connect"	how to establish the link
"Service"	""	names the service to launch
"Timeout"	30	the timeout for the network connection, in seconds
