Parallel Evaluation of Mathematica Programs in Remote Computers Available in Network
Mathematica is a powerful application package for doing mathematics and is
used almost in all branches of science. It has widespread applications ranging
from quantum computation, statistical analysis, number theory, zoology,
astronomy, and many more. Mathematica gives a rich set of programming
extensions to its end-user language, and it permits us to write programs in
procedural, functional, or logic (rule-based) style, or a mixture of all three.
For tasks requiring interfaces to the external environment, mathematica
provides mathlink, which allows us to communicate mathematica programs with
external programs written in C, C++, F77, F90, F95, Java, or other languages.
It has also extensive capabilities for editing graphics, equations, text, etc.
In this article, we explore the basic mechanisms of parallelization of a
mathematica program by sharing different parts of the program into all other
computers available in the network. Doing the parallelization, we can perform
large computational operations within a very short period of time, and
therefore, the efficiency of the numerical works can be achieved. Parallel
computation supports any version of mathematica and it also works as well even
if different versions of mathematica are installed in different computers. The
whole operation can run under any supported operating system like Unix,
Windows, Macintosh, etc. Here we focus our study only for the Unix based
operating system, but this method works as well for all other cases.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with
