ParallelKnoppix是一份重新打造的Knoppix,它可以用LAM-MPI和/或MPI的实现MPICH来配置并行处理机集群。如果这些机器都配置有PXE网卡,让集群启动并运转只需不到15分钟。 Michael Creel has announced the availability of the first 64-bit edition of ParallelKnoppix, a KNOPPIX-based live CD that provides an easy way of setting up a cluster of machines for parallel processing: "Big news - the first release candidate of a 64-bit edition of ParallelKnoppix is out. This is version 2.6, for 64-bit CPUs. It won't run on 32-bit CPUs, so for mixed clusters you need to use the 32-bit edition. A big thanks to the VMKNOPPIX people for their 5.1.1 64-bit release, which was used as the base, and to Intel Software for a hardware donation that helped with development of this version. I have a limited set of 64-bit hardware for testing, so reports are especially welcome." Please visit the project's home page to read the release announcement. The CD image is available via BitTorrent and also from this HTTP server: parallelknoppix64-2.6-rc1.iso (644MB, MD5). |
