TTP09-03 Current status of FORM parallelization

We report on the status of the current development in parallelization of the symbolic manipulation system FORM. There are two parallel versions available, one is based on POSIX threads and is optimal for modern multicore computers while another one uses MPI and can be used to parallelize FORM on clusters and Massive Parallel Processing systems. Most of existing FORM programs will be able to take advantage of the parallel execution, without the need for modifications. In some cases some minor additions may be needed.
