I am not sure what you mean by "required infrastructure setup". Installing Petalisp is a single call to (ql:quickload :petalisp) - assuming you have Quicklisp installed. If you also have a C compiler available, and an executable named cc pointing to that compiler, Petalisp will use that to speed up your codes further.

About the required hardware - anything that runs SBCL or CCL can also run Petalisp.

Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant a distributed computing system setup

Thanks for clarifying. I will definitely write down the specifics of setting up distributed computing once it works. However, support for distributed computing will still take some time. The current step is to iron out all the remaining issues of parallelizing within one CPU socket.
