I have written a code in which I am doing certain computation in a loop and each of the step is independent of the other. So I was just wondering if it is possible to use a grid/cluster and do the simultaneous computations! In other words does Singular support parallel computing? If yes, how does one go about it?

Dear Vlnay,
right now you can use MP links for parallelizing your code (in a network). Note that MP links are restricted to 32-bit. With the next release we will enable you to use so-called SSI links which can be used in the same manner also for 64-bit.
Please have a look at the following pages of our Manual for syntax & examples:
Manual/3-1-1/sing_99.htm#SEC140 (overview)
Manual/3-1-1/sing_106.htm#SEC147 (MP links in more detail)
Manual/3-1-1/sing_609.htm#SEC662 (small example of how to parallelize using MP links)
