-Portable, scalable and reliable distributed machine learning.
+This repo is deprecated. We have realized that it is much
+better to build individual projects that have deep optimization
+and integration with the existing system.
 
-Wormhole is a place where DMLC projects works together to provide
-scalable and reliable machine learning toolkits that can run on various platforms
 
-Features
-====
-* Portable:
-  - Supported platforms: local machine, Apache YARN, MPI and Sungrid Engine
-* Rich support of Data Source
-  - All projects can read data from HDFS, S3 or local filesystem
-* Scalable and Reliable
+Pointers to the Projects
+------------------------
+- [XGBoost](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost) for tree boosting.
+- [MXNet](https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet) for for deep learning
+- [DiFaco](https://github.com/dmlc/difaco) for factorization.

 List of Tools
-====
+-------------
 * Boosted Trees (GBDT): [XGBoost: eXtreme Gradient Boosting](learn/xgboost)
 * Clustering: [kmeans](learn/kmeans)
 * Linear method: [Asynchrouns SGD](learn/linear) [L-BFGS](learn/lbfgs-linear)
 * Factorization Machine: [DiFacto](learn/difacto)
-
-Build & Run
-====
-
-* Requires a C++11 compiler (e.g.~`g++ >=4.8`) and `git`. Install them on Ubuntu
-  >= 13.10
-
-```
-sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git libgoogle-glog-dev
-```
-
-* Type `make` to build all deps and tools
-
-* All tools can run both in a laptop and in a cluster. For example, train
-logisitic regression using 2 workers and one servers in local machine
-
-```
-tracker/dmlc_local.py -n 2 -s 1 bin/linear.dmlc learn/linear/guide/demo.conf
-```

-Contribute
-====
-- We are actively building new tools. The source codes of all tools are available under [learn/](learn).
-- Wormhole depends on other DMLC projects, which are also under active developing
-  - [dmlc-core](https://github.com/dmlc/dmlc-core) provides I/O modules and job
-    trackers
-  - [rabit](https://github.com/dmlc/rabit) provides reliable BSP Allreduce communication.
-  - [ps-lite](https://github.com/dmlc/ps-lite) provides the asynchronous key-value
-    push and pull for the parameter server framework.
