I developed a Mathematica package using Mathematica 12.1 and I am calling this package from my java code: I generate a system of equations (where I call the package) from the java code, then send this system to the Mathematica Kernel to solve it, but it takes at least 2 or 3 minutes to return a result (and sometimes keeps running). When I run Mathematica front end to solve the same system, it takes few microseconds. Can anyone tell me why is Mathematica Kernel is extremely slow?

thanks a lot

    $\begingroup$ Welcome to the Mathematica Stack Exchange. Tell us more about your Java setup and how you are invoking the kernel. Have you followed an(y) example from a tutorial that worked better etc. Thanks. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I am working with Intellij Idea and use jlink, this is the java code where I create a connection with Mathematica then call Mathematica Kernel : KernelLink ml; String s = "-linkmode launch -linkname 'C:\\Program Files\\Wolfram Research\\Mathematica\\12.1\\MathKernel.exe'"; ml = MathLinkFactory.createKernelLink(s); ml.connect(); ml.discardAnswer(); String res = ml.evaluateToInputForm(exp,0); //exp=<<MyPackage;UsingFrontEnd[MyPackageFunc[]] $\endgroup$

For those who are interested, I could finally solve the problem by simply sending two seperate commands to Mathematica kernel from my java code: in the first command I evaluate the call to my package, and in the second command, I evaluate the system of equations (that uses my package). So instead of send one command of the form:

ml.evaluateToOutputForm(<<Mypackage`;systemOfEquationsToSolve)

I send the following two commands:

ml.evaluateToOutputForm("<<MyPackage`");
ml.discardAnswer();
ml.evaluateToOutputForm(systemOfEquationsToSolve);

    $\begingroup$ If the function f is define in SomePackage, then a combined (Get["SomePackage`"]; f[]) is not equivalent to evaluating these two commands separately. The package must be loaded before f[] is parsed (note: parsed, not merely evaluated). Otherwise f will be interpreted in the Global context, not in your package's context. $\endgroup$
