The Millennium Project is a cutting-edge parallel computing project based at UC Berkeley, focused on building a multi-level “system of systems” using clusters of SMP machines called “CLUMPs.” The project aims to harness the power of roughly a thousand computers provided by Intel, and build on the earlier NOW (Network of Workstations) project. The result is a “Global Futures Intelligence System” (GFIS) that combines data, organizations, and software to create a framework for collective intelligence and a system of the future.
