Is this Legion project related to the late 1990s Legion, which involved distributed computing for HPC and was funded by the same funding agencies and had collaborations with the same HPC organizations?
- _kst_ 7y agoIt appears not to be. The earlier Legion was developed at the University of Virginia. I see no reference to it on the web page or in the sources on GitHub. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(software) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(software)
- eslaught 7y agoIt's probably unrelated, but do you have a link/citation to 1990s Legion? We started around 2010-2011. The project immediately prior to this was called Sequoia[1] (published on 2006, probably started a couple years prior).

- seanmcdirmid 7y agoIt’s probably this work: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/416b/391e374dd3a2b656b8d13ce6a54b3d069f15.pdf https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/416b/391e374dd3a2b656b8d13c... It’s more systems/HPC community, and a couple of decades old, so I don’t think the name reuse will cause much confusion.
