| PelicanHPC是基于Debian的自启动运行光盘镜像，其宗旨是简化高性能计算集群的安装。其前端节点（或者是真实的计算机，或者是虚拟机）直接
从该镜像引导。计算节点则依靠预执行环境（PXE）来启动，它们以前端节点为服务器。集群的所有节点都从相同的光盘镜像获取它们的文件系统，因此，所有的
节点都运行相同的软件。该光盘镜像通过运行一份单独的脚本创建而得，这也使得可以基于额外的Debian软件包来定制该自启动运行光盘镜像。 PelicanHPC, a Debian-based live CD for high performance computing clusters and formerly known as ParallelKnoppix, has released a new test build: "Version 2.2 release candidate is available (only for amd64). This release has many new features, thanks to Robert G. Petry. It is now possible to configure the frontend to boot without intervention, and to send wake-on-LAN packets to the nodes. There is a big list of new features, so test reports are welcome. New in this version: ~/pelican_config file to allow for persistence, customization and headless boot; autodetection of persistent frontend home; autodetection of frontend and node local scratch space; ability to run local scripts post boot and setup; node beep after boot; firewall; automated node booting using wake-on-lan; static IP assignment configurable using MAC addresses; node startup/shutdown script."
