I take the liberty to close it. I am wary of packages that (currently)
nobody cares about, that are probably out of date, and that will cause
maintenance work in the future; all this with probably zero users.

Thanks for spotting it,

+lightweight, scaling effectively to multiple GPUs and multiple machines.

+MXNet is more than a deep learning project. It is a collection of blue prints
