$IterationLimit and parallel computing Short question: How can you set$IterationLimit for parallel computation?

I thought just setting $IterationLimit = Infinity would work but it doesn't. I still get Iteration limit exceeded errors. A bit of sample code below: fff[0] = 1; fff[p_] := fff[p - 1] (*simple function*) limit =$IterationLimit (*checking $IterationLimit*) fff[limit + 1000] (*this should give$IterationLimit::itlim error*)

ParallelTable[fff[i], {i, limit + 1000, limit + 1004}] (*this should also give multiple $IterationLimit::itlim errors*)$IterationLimit = Infinity; (*setting infinite $IterationLimit*) fff[limit + 1000] (*now this should compute without errors*) ParallelTable[fff[i], {i, limit + 1000, limit + 1004}] (*this shouldn't give any errors either but for me it throws$IterationLimit::itlim errors*)

Since fff is defined by you, the user, in the Global` context, the definition of fff is automatically distributed to the subkernels (in v8 and later) by ParallelTable and you don't need to use DistributeDefinitions explicitly. However, $IterationLimit is a system symbol, and it won't be distributed. If you set$IterationLimit on the main kernel, it will only have an effect on the main kernel.
The subkernels have their own $IterationLimit which you need to set separately with the aid of ParallelEvaluate. (Do not use DistributeDefinitions in this case.) ParallelEvaluate[$IterationLimit = ...]
