Julia High Performance - Second Edition

Distributed arrays

The DistributedArrays package provides an implementation of partitioned multidimensional arrays. They can be used to store data across multiple machines when the data is large enough that it does not fit in the memory of one machine. It is also useful when a computation must be distributed across multiple machines, and needs to read and write access to a shared buffer of data. Detailed package documentation is available at https://github.com/JuliaParallel/DistributedArrays.jl. 

To use DistributedArrays, it should be added to your environment using the package manager:

julia> using Pkgjulia> Pkg.add("DistributedArrays")julia> using DistributedArrays

Distributed arrays are created from existing arrays, or they can be initialized ...
