Apache Hama
Apache Hama was a big data and high-performance computing project that has retired.
About Apache Hama
Apache Hama was a framework for big data analytics using the Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) computing model. Established in 2012 as a Top-Level Project of the Apache Software Foundation, it supported pure BSP as well as vertex-centric and neuron-centric models, with components for query processing, graph computing, and deep learning on Hadoop HDFS.
The project has retired, with details on its Attic page. Documentation describes installing Hama on a Hadoop cluster, and the most recent release listed is version 0.7.0 from June 2015.
