Almost every computer you buy these days contains more than one processor core – even my laptop has 2 – and I have access to relatively inexpensive desktops that have as many as 8.\u00a0 So, it is hardly surprising that I am steadily receiving more and more queries from people interested in making their calculations run over as many simultaneous cores as possible.<\/p>\n

The big three Ms of the mathematical software world, Mathematica<\/a>, Maple<\/a> and MATLAB<\/a>, all allow you to explicitly parallelise<\/a> your own programs (although you have to pay extra if you want to do this in MATLAB without resorting to hand crafted C-code) but parallel programming isn’t easy and so tutorials are invaluable.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Darin Ohashi, a senior kernel developer at Maplesoft has taken the time to write some parallel Maple tutorials for us and he has presented his work as a series of blog posts over at MaplePrime.\u00a0 Here’s an idex:<\/p>\n
