lfarm

Exports the lparallel kernel API, allowing existing parallel code to run distributed with minimal changes, as shown in the synopsis where functions like pmapcar and plet work identically.

Enables computations to scale across multiple machines by implementing remote servers, making it ideal for CPU-intensive tasks beyond single-machine limits, such as batch processing or scientific computing.

Client automatically reconnects on connection errors, permitting server restarts without kernel disruption, which enhances system reliability in unstable network environments.

Supports built-in Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication and provides guidance for SSH tunneling, offering secure remote execution, though setup can be complex as detailed in the security section.
