Dear NERSC Users, NERSC is considering buying a license for gridMathematica for the Math Server (newton.nersc.gov). We have obtained a single user demo license of gridMathematica for your testing and evaluation. Please send your feedback/comments to Harsh Anand (harsh_at_nersc_dot_gov). The demo version expires on Apr 19. gridMathematica uses Mathematica as its primary component, it has access to Mathematica's functionality. It combines the power of Mathematica with modern computing clusters and grids. gridMathematica implements many parallel programming primitives and includes high-level commands for parallel execution of matrix operations, plotting, and other functions. It comes with example applications of many popular new programming approaches such as parallel Monte Carlo simulation, visualization, searching, and optimization. The implementations for all high-level parallel processing commands are provided in Mathematica source form, so they can also serve as templates for users to build their own parallel programs. To use gridMathematica first load the module "mathematica/gridmath". For more information, documentation including tutorial see: http://www.wolfram.com/products/gridmathematica/ Please note, "rsh" will not work on Newton, change references to "rsh" to "ssh" in the vendor documentation.
