In this segment, we discuss the map feature to distribute computations across the available nodes, how to use targets to specify which nodes to use, and how to use blocking to avoid waiting for long computations to finish.

In this segment, we discuss cover importing modules for the remote nodes and how to distribute data (i.e. scatter, gather) to and from these nodes.

IPython provides excellent interactive parallel computing tools. In this segment, we discuss how to set up remote computational engines using ipcluster and how to use special magic commands in IPython to use these remote engines.

Here we show how to run the IPython interpreter on the Wind...
