Features

Mathematica Personal Grid Edition provides innovative parallel computing functionality, with features such as the following:

			Parallelization at the Mathematica language level Machine independence--user code is completely portable High-performance MathLink communication protocol, optimized for all common configurations Efficient, adaptive load balancing Automatic or user-programmable scheduling for problem-specific adaptation Automatic failure-recovery and reassignment of stranded processes Support for tracing and debugging Speculative parallelization for nondeterministic problems

Mathematica Personal Grid Edition supports all Mathematica functionality--including the world's largest collection of advanced algorithms for numeric and symbolic computation, discrete mathematics, statistics, data analysis, graphics, visualization, and general programming--as well as all Mathematica application packages. Some specific features of interest include:

			Multi-paradigm symbolic programming language with support for procedural, functional, list-based, object-oriented, and symbolic programming constructs System-wide dynamic interactivity, allowing the creation of full-function dynamic interfaces for arbitrary objects, including 2D and 3D graphics, math, tables, text, etc. Automatic creation of high-fidelity, high-impact 2D, 3D and dynamic visualizations of functions and data with the introduction of 25+ new core visualization types and 50+ new general visualization options Over two gigabytes of data for math, physics, chemistry, finance, geography, linguistics, and more available to users on demand New level of automation for handling external data, including support hundreds of formats and subformats across a full range of areas Symbolic interface construction for immediate creation of arbitrary interfaces from simple programs Automated computational aesthetics, with algorithmic optimization for visual presentation Unification of active graphics and controls with flowing text and input Automatic precision control and support for exact integers of arbitrary length, rationals, floating-point real and complex numbers, and arbitrary-precision real and complex numbers Automatic algorithm selection for optimal performance High-speed numerical linear algebra, with performance equal to specialized numeric libraries High-performance optimization and linear programming functions Wide-ranging support for sparse matrices Highly optimized binary data I/O allowing fast import of any binary data Industrial-strength string manipulation Built-in universal database connectivity for additional data import capabilities Language bindings to C, Java, .NET, Python, and scripting languages All-platform support for 64-bit addressing Support for multiprocessor and multicore machines on all platforms Multithreaded numerical linear algebra Vector-based performance enhancements
