The first one is easy to solve; function definitions aren't moved implicitly like data is, if you use:
@everywhere foo(a) = sin(a) To make the definition happen on all worker processes then it works. As to the second issue I'm not sure what's wrong. Based on the description of @parallel in the manual this is arguably a bug, I'd suggest filing an issue on github if no one else chimes in here.
