Wolfram Compute Services

Summary

To immediately enable Wolfram Compute Services in Version 14.3 Wolfram Desktop systems, run RemoteBatchSubmissionEnvironment["WolframBatch"]. (The functionality is automatically available in the Wolfram Cloud.) Scaling Up Your Computations Let’s say you’ve done a computation in Wolfram Language. And now you want to scale it up. Maybe 1000x or more. Well, today we’ve released an extremely streamlined way to do that. Just wrap the scaled up computation in RemoteBatchSubmit and off it’ll go to our new Wolfram Compute Services system. Then—in a minute, an hour, a day, or whatever—it’ll let you know it’s finished, and you can get its results. For decades I’ve often needed to do big, crunchy calculations (usually for science). With large volumes of data, millions of cases, rampant computational irreducibility, etc. I probably have more compute lying around my house than most people—these days about 200 cores worth. But many nights I’ll leave all of that compute running, all night—and I still want much more. Well, as of today, there’s an easy solution—for everyone: just seamlessly send your computation off to Wolfram Compute Services to be done, at basically any scale. For nearly 20 years we’ve had built-in functions like ParallelMap and ParallelTable in Wolfram Language that make it immediate to parallelize subcomputations. But for this to really let you scale up, you have to have the compute. Which now—thanks to our new Wolfram Compute Services—everyone can immediately get. The underlying tools that make Wolfram Compute Services possible have existed in the Wolfram Language for several years. But what Wolfram Compute Services now does is to pull everything together to provide an extremely streamlined all-in-one experience. For example, let’s say you’re working in a notebook and building up a computation. And finally you give the input that you want to scale up. Typically that input will have lots of dependencies on earlier parts of your computation. But you don’t have to...
