While everyone is clamoring for bigger, faster, wider bandwidth on their computing devices these days this unassuming 8-bit multi-core workstation sits quietly in the corner, plodding away at boring CRC checksums. Like the nerd who spends his entire weekend memorizing spells that he'll throw out in lavish fashion during his next AD&D game, this little 8-bit nerd hopes he scores a critical hit. With less core memory than most hand-held devices and no floating-point microprocessor, he'll make us all feel a little better about our GRE math scores.

However, executing most instructions within one clock cycle, and with an AMPS (AVR® Multi-Processing System) clocked at 32MHz, the μnix workstation (pronounced "myoonix" due to the greek letter μ, meaning "micro") will be able to perform some impressive feats of agile computation.
