| 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 GNU Linux is a new name of what used to be known as ParallelKnoppix, a live CD project with a goal to make it simple to set up a high performance computing cluster. Now based on Debian GNU/Linux (rather than KNOPPIX), the project has announced the release of PelicanHPC 1.3. From the changelog: "make_pelican allows a password to be specified, the default is still 'live'; make_pelican allows you to specify a storage device to mount as /home, the default is still to use a ramdisk; the setup routine has been greatly improved. At this point, I think that Pelican is in good shape. I am not planning on making more releases until several months from now, unless some important bug surfaces." Visit the project's home page to read the release announcement. The CD images are available for download via BitTorrent: pelican32-v1.3.iso (345MB), pelican64-v1.3.iso (357MB). |
