Use this tag for questions related to IPython's architecture for parallel and distributed computing.
Quoting the IPython parallel overview:
IPython has a sophisticated and powerful architecture for parallel and distributed computing. This architecture abstracts out parallelism in a very general way, which enables IPython to support many different styles of parallelism . [...]. Most importantly, IPython enables all types of parallel applications to be developed, executed, debugged and monitored interactively. Hence, the I in IPython.
ipython-parallel is used for all sort of questions that are engaged to using IPython's parallel capabilities.
