({{, (RefLink[$ConfiguredKernels, paclet:ref/$ConfiguredKernels]) 
is the default list of kernels that are configured for remote or parallel computing.}})

OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

On a multicore computer the list typically includes as many local kernels as there are cores, up to a limit defined by license availability.

Additional configurations for kernels on remote machines can be made available with the Wolfram Lightweight Grid and the Cluster Integration Package.

OpenersExampleSection0(Spacer1)Basic Examples  (1)

The default parallel kernel configuration:

$ConfiguredKernels

When no kernels are running, (RefLink[LaunchKernels, paclet:ref/LaunchKernels]) uses this list as the default to launch kernels:

CloseKernels[];LaunchKernels[]

OpenersExampleSection3(Spacer1)Possible Issues  (2)

If any kernels are already running, (RefLink[LaunchKernels, paclet:ref/LaunchKernels])[] does not launch the default kernels:

Kernels[]

$ConfiguredKernels

LaunchKernels[]

Close all running kernels, then launch the default set of kernels:

CloseKernels[];LaunchKernels[]
