Maxima Inquiry



The quick (and somewhat incomplete) answer to both questions is 'no'.

But I'll ask you back: what exactly are you trying to do, why do you think
Maxima is a good tool to do it, and why do you think GPU acceleration or
networked calculation would be useful for that problem?

If you're trying to do a purely numerical calculation, Maxima is probably
not the right place to do it -- though it can be an excellent place for
*setting up* a numerical computation.

If you're trying to do a purely symbolic calculation, why do you think you
will be limited by machine resources?  Sure, inverting a 1000 x 1000
symbolic matrix would take a lot of computation, but would the result (which
might be enormous) actually be useful?
