Features

• Efficiently develop new Mathematica codes and algorithms for parallel computing, combining Mathematica's rich feature set with MPI.

• Run Mathematica symbolic manipulation across a cluster, as cluster computing handles more than numerics.

• Perform symbolic manipulation and processing that is inconvenient to do in Fortran and C, at a scale that only clusters can handle.

• Use the environment of Mathematica to learn how to program clusters and supercomputers.

• Applications that take a long time (days or weeks to perform) on one node can be performed significantly faster (up to 8 times faster when utilized on a single 8-CPU node, or up to 32 times faster when utilized on a cluster of four 8-CPU nodes).

• Applications that require more RAM than one node can become possible to perform using all of the RAM in the cluster (distributed memory model).
