KernelConfigurationEdit

KernelConfigurationEdit[kernelspec]

gives a dialog for editing the properties of a new kernel specification based on kernelspec.

KernelConfigurationEdit[]

prompts for the type of kernel to edit.

Details

  • KernelConfigurationEdit["kerneltype"] starts the edit form with a sample kernel of the given type.
  • Supported kernel types include "LocalKernels", "SshKernels", "CloudKernels", "WSTPServerKernels" and "LWGKernels".

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Obtain a kernel configuration:

Wolfram Language code: KernelConfiguration["Local"]

Bring up an editor with the inputs filled from the given kernel configuration:

Wolfram Language code: KernelConfigurationEdit[%]

Prompt for the type of kernel to edit:

Wolfram Language code: KernelConfigurationEdit[]

Applications  (1)

Edit the properties of a generic kernel configuration for a remote machine:

Wolfram Language code: k1 = KernelConfigurationEdit["ssh://andromeda"]

Verify the properties of the new configuration:

Wolfram Language code: Information[k1]

Use the edited kernel configuration for launching parallel kernels:

Wolfram Language code: LaunchKernels[k1]; $KernelCount

Properties & Relations  (1)

Create a new kernel configuration based on an element of $ConfiguredKernels:

Wolfram Language code: $ConfiguredKernels[[1]]
Wolfram Language code: %["KernelCount"]
Wolfram Language code: new = KernelConfigurationEdit[$ConfiguredKernels[[1]]]
Wolfram Language code: new["KernelCount"]

To be able to refer to the new configuration by name, append it to $ConfiguredKernels:

Wolfram Language code: AppendTo[$ConfiguredKernels, new]

Obtain the configuration by name:

Wolfram Language code: KernelConfiguration["Local 1"]
Wolfram Language code: %["KernelCount"]
