IncludeDefinitions (2) 

By default, definitions are included:

In[4]:=

Out[2]=

Do not include any definitions in the evaluation:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

ReturnDefinitions (3) 

By default, definitions created on the subkernel are not returned to the current kernel session:

In[6]:=

Out[2]=

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Return dependent definitions to the parent kernel for the output expression:

In[8]:=

Out[2]=

Now the definition of g is returned from the subkernel:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Only the definitions that the output depends on will be returned:

In[10]:=

Out[2]=

Since the output does not depend on f, its definition is not returned to the current session:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Compare to g, which appears in the output literally:

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Initialization (2) 

Specify an initialization that should evaluate first:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

The initialization only runs on the other kernel; the current kernel is not affected:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

Create a temporary init.m file and back up the original:

In[15]:=

Out[16]=

In[17]:=

Using Automatic for Initialization is equivalent to using Get[FindFile["init.m"]]:

In[18]:=

Out[18]=

The symbol h is undefined otherwise:

In[19]:=

Out[19]=

Restore the original init.m file:

In[20]:=

Out[20]=

Method (5) 

Create a large packed array of integers:

In[21]:=

Pass a Method specification to the WXF serialization when sending expressions between kernels:

In[22]:=

Out[22]=

Use a smaller type to reduce transfer time:

In[23]:=

Out[23]=

By default, the smallest type that fits the data will be used:

In[24]:=

Out[24]=

Compare the size difference by using BinarySerialize:

In[25]:=

Out[25]=

In[26]:=

Out[26]=

Asynchronous (2) 

By default, LocalEvaluate waits for results to be returned:

In[27]:=

Out[27]=

Set Asynchronous to True if you don't need to wait for results:

In[28]:=

Out[28]=

This is effectively equivalent to LocalSubmit when no definitions or initialization specifications are involved:

In[29]:=

Out[29]=

In[30]:=

Out[30]=
