| 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。 Michael Creel has announced the release of PelicanHPC 2.2, a Debian-based live CD that makes it easy to set up a high-performance computing cluster in a few minutes: "Version 2.2 final release is available. This release has many new features, the main new feature is a simple way to save the configuration across boots. This allows for full headless remote administration, and makes it considerably more convenient to use PelicanHPC to run a permanent cluster. Other new features: auto-detection of persistent front-end home 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; configuration of slots and optional front-end inclusion for MPI; Ganglia...."
