Distributed Maple



Distributed Maple is a system for writing parallel programs in the computer algebra system Maple. It allows to create concurrent task and have them executed by Maple kernels running on different machines of a network. The system consists of two components:

  1. A Java class library which implements a general purpose communication framework and scheduling mechanism for distributed applications.
  2. A binding that allows to access the Java scheduler from Maple and implements a parallel programming model on top.

Distributed Maple:

Version 1.1.17 (bug fixes).
Applications:Version 1.3 (Berlekamp algorithm).
