I am running a search through a large parameter space for a rare or nonexistent object - I don't know which. This search could take weeks or months of constant running. If it doesn't find the object I would just keep it running until it seemed hopeless. Given several processors I could assign each one a different part of the search. They would not have to communicate with each other. If I had a multiple processor system, could Mathematica assign parts of the search to different processors? Would it do this automatically if I just started two copies of Mathematica and gave each one a different part? Thanks for any info. Steve Gray
