<p>The info version of this document is accessible, after package
installation, from the Octave commandline with <code>parallel_doc()</code>.
</p>
<p>This documentation applies to version 4.0.2 of the parallel
package.
</p>
<p>The package contains functions for explicit local parallel execution
and functions for parallel execution over a cluster of machines,
possibly combined with local parallel execution at each machine of the
cluster.
</p>
<p>Earlier versions of the package used Octave sessions directly
generated by the <code>fork</code> system call. Since this causes problems,
the current version uses newly started Octave sessions, even for local
parallel execution. This causes some limitations, see
<a href="Limitations.html">Limitations</a>.
</p>
<p>The server for cluster execution is installed at GNU/Linux, but not at
some other operating systems, e.g. not at Windows or macOS. The client
functions for cluster execution should be installed at all systems,
though.
