What is the Limulus Project?

The Limulus project goal is to create and maintain an open specification and software stack for a personal workstation cluster. As "edge of cloud" computing becomes more important, these systems are designed to offer HPC, Big Data (Hadoop-Spark), and Deep Learning in almost any location. Ideally, a user should be able to build or purchase a small personal workstation cluster using the Limulus reference design and low cost hardware. In addition, a freely available turn-key Linux based software stack will be created and maintained for use on the Limulus design. A Limulus is intended to be a local workstation cluster platform where users can develop software, test ideas, run edge applications, and teach HPC methods. Consult the following draft of a Linux Magazine Limulus Article (pdf) for more information. The Limulus idea actually came from the 2005 AMD Value Cluster Project.
