Distributed Maple - User and Reference Manual
=abstract=
Distributed Maple is a system for writing parallel programs in the
computer algebra system Maple. It allows to create concurrent tasks 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 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. 

The system is portable to most kinds of computer networks and can be
freely downloaded from
