kernel - Evaluator option for Mathematica Scripts


I have mathematica with many additional kernels besides Local ( e.g., core1, core2, core3, core4 ... ) added through Kernel Configuration Options. I have been running multiple copies of a simulation (mycalculation.nb) in these different cores. The kernel for each notebook was set using this function:


SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[], Evaluator -> "corei"];

where corei is core1, core 2, .. etc. So all kernels run in parallel without interfering with each other. Now I am trying to automate this and use Mathematica Scripts to run each kernel with my code converted into Input Form (mycalculation.m). When I do that, the above line gives this error message since the "Evaluator" seems to be defined for front end and notebook interface only:


FrontEndObject::notavail: A front end is not available; certain operations require a front end.

Note that my code in "mathematica scripts" form works fine when I skip the "Evaluator" definition. Is there a corresponding option that I can put in the file (mycalculation.m) or in the command line, which is;


 MathKernel -noprompt -run "<

so that I can tell MathKernel to execute the rest of the code not in the local kernel but in some other kernel. I could not find it myself.



Answer



You can obtain kernel IDs with either, Kernels[] or ParallelEvaluate[$KernelID].


ids=ParallelEvaluate[$KernelID]


{1, 2, 3, 4}



kobjs=Kernels[]



{KernelObject[1, "local"], KernelObject[2, "local"], KernelObject[3, "local"], KernelObject[4, "local"]}



These can then be used with ParallelEvaluate to specify which kernel you wish to run your code on.


Set all the cells you want to evaluate in your .m file to be initialization cells.


Then you can run that .m file on whichever kernels you like from either a notebook file or another .m file:


ParallelEvaluate[Get["/mypath/myscriptfile.m"];,{1,3}]

or by list of required IDs:



ParallelEvaluate[Get["/mypath/myscriptfile.m"];,ids]

or by list of required kernel objects:


ParallelEvaluate[Get["/mypath/myscriptfile.m"];,kobjs[[1;;3]]]

If you have different custom script files you want to run on their own core:


ParallelEvaluate[Get["/mypath/myscriptfile1.m"];,1]
ParallelEvaluate[Get["/mypath/myscriptfile2.m"];,2]
ParallelEvaluate[Get["/mypath/myscriptfile4.m"];,4]

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
