Parallel Computing Toolkit Presentations

Wolfram Technology Conference Champaign, Illinois (Oct 21-23, 2004)

Parallel Computing Toolkit, Version 2

The Parallel Computing Toolkit is a Mathematica AddOn that allows users to develop and run parallel computations. It provides a high-level language for expressing parallel algorithms in a machine-independent way. This presentation gives a preview of the upcoming Version 2 of the toolkit.

Queues: an Exercise in Data Type Design

Part of the Parallel Computing Toolkit is an extensible queueing system. We discuss the design of the interface and reference implementations of different kinds of queues in an obejct-oriented way.

gridMathematica: Parallel Numeric and Symbolic Computing

Parallel Computing Toolkit is a Mathematica AddOn that allows users to develop and run parallel computations. It provides a high-level language for expression parallel algorithms in a machine-independent way. gridMathematica takes full advantage of the Parallel Computing Toolkit for providing an easy-to-use environment for parallel computations on multi-processor machines, clusters, or grids of compute nodes. The presentation discusses the features of the Parallel Computing Toolkit and gives examples of applications.
