Disable the automatic distribution of definitions:

Distribute the definition of a function:

Use the function on the parallel subkernels:

The symbol f appears in the list of all distributed symbols:

Clear the distributed definitions:

The function is no longer known on the subkernels; it is evaluated only after being returned:

The symbol f no longer appears in the list of all distributed symbols:

Make various types of definitions for a set of symbols:

Distribute the definitions to all parallel subkernels:

All symbols appear in the list of distributed symbols:

Clear the distributed definitions of the symbol f:

f no longer appears in the list of distributed symbols:

Clear the distributed definitions of several symbols:

Clear the distributed definitions of all remaining symbols:

There are no symbols with distributed definitions left:

By default, symbols in the current context are automatically distributed:

Clearing the distributed definitions may seem to work:

As soon as mat is used again in a parallel computation, its definition will be distributed automatically again:

Disable automatic distribution of definitions if you wish to control distribution of definitions manually:

The definition of a has not been distributed to parallel subkernels:

Distribute the definition of a manually:
