Mathematica Allotting more resources to mathematical software

AI Thread Summary
To improve the performance of Mathematica on a system with 16GB of RAM and an Intel i5 processor, users can consider utilizing the Parallelize function. This function helps distribute independent tasks across multiple processors, potentially enhancing computational speed. If performance issues persist, it may be necessary to evaluate whether the processor is the primary bottleneck or if other factors, such as large data sets consuming RAM, are contributing to the slowdown. Adjusting system settings to allocate more resources specifically to Mathematica may also be beneficial.

Is there a way to allot more resources for Mathematica to use? I have 16GB of RAM and the Intel i5 but Mathematica is still too slow at many things. Is there a way I can allot more of my computers resources to the program?

Unless you're dealing with large data sets that are eating up loads of RAM, I would recommend the Parallelize function, which automatically tries to allocate independent functions to different processors to speed things up. This is assuming your processor is the bottleneck.
