Configuring and Managing Wolfram Language Kernels

Roman Maeder

Using the Wolfram Language, it is possible to connect to other Wolfram Language engines (kernels) both locally and on remote computers. Kernels can be used for ad-hoc evaluations, as session kernels of a notebook or bundled for parallel computation. Support for discovering, configuring and managing kernel resources is now available across a wide variety of environments. We will discuss local kernels, remote access (SSH), WSTPServer and Wolfram Lightweight Grid.
