Distributed Mathematica - User and Reference Manual
=abstract=
Distributed {\it Mathematica} is a system for writing parallel
programs in the integrated system for technical computing
{\it Mathematica}. It allows to create concurrent tasks and have them
executed by {\it Mathematica} kernels running on different machines of
a network. The system consists of two components:
\begin{enumerate}
\item A Java class library which implements a general purpose
  communication and scheduling mechanism for distributed applications.
\item A binding that allows to access the Java scheduler from Maple
  and implements a parallel programming model on top.
\end{enumerate}
The system can be freely downloaded from:
