Abstract
Scripting core commands and aggregations of such commands are provided to script authors to enable them to generate scripts that can be parallel-processed without requiring the author to be aware of parallel-processing techniques. The scripting core commands and aggregations abstract mechanisms that can be executed in parallel, enabling the script author to focus on higher-level concepts. The scripting core commands provided include commands for applying a function in parallel and distributing and joining data in parallel. For added flexibility, one or more scripting core commands can utilize functions written in a different programming language and referenced appropriately in code blocks.
