micaParalize is a set of functions that allow a user to easily run normal Matlab functions on a multi-processesor machine by dividing the work-load amongst the serval processors. The program is used for simulations, bootstraps and function maximization problems in biostatistics.

Parallel enabled utilities for use with Mathworks' Distributed Computing Toolbox. A parallel for loop, parallel simulation and a parallel bootstrap that makes use of the DCT to speed up execution.

Biopara is a parallel framework designed to allow users of R to distribute execution of coarsely parallel problems over multiple machines for concurrent execution. Biopara is called from within an R session and results are returned to the same session as a list of native R objects that can be directly manipulated without reinterpretation.
