Abstract
We review the status of the parallel versions of the computer algebra system FORM. In particular, we provide a brief overview about the historical developments, discuss the strengths of ParFORM and TFORM, and mention typical applications. Furthermore, we briefly discuss the programs FIRE and FIESTA, which have also been developed with the Collaborative Research Center/TR~9 (CRC/TR~9).
