Distribution Release: ParallelKnoppix 2.3 |
 |
Michael Creel has announced the release of ParallelKnoppix 2.3: "Version 2.3 is released. This version synchronises all packages to current Debian unstable and fixes some bugs. In particular, the annoying hang at boot time that sometimes occurred has been solved. Also, the compute nodes can be booted using copies of the CD. This is useful if you can't get PXE boot to work for some reason and your cluster is not too large." Read the brief release announcement on the project's home page. Download: parallelknoppix-2.3.iso (513MB, MD5). ParallelKnoppix is a KNOPPIX-based distribution that makes it simple to set up a cluster of computers for parallel processing using the LAM-MPI and/or MPICH implementations of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). |

| About PelicanHPC |
| PelicanHPC is a Debian-based live CD image with a goal to make it simple to set up a high performance computing cluster. The front-end node (either a real computer or a virtual machine) boots from the CD image. The compute nodes boot by Pre-Execution Environment (PXE), using the front-end node as the server. All of the nodes of the cluster get their file systems from the same CD image, so it is guaranteed that all nodes run the same software. The CD image is created by running a single script, which makes it possible to customise the live CD image with extra Debian packages. |
