Distribution Release: ParallelKnoppix 2.4 |
| ParallelKnoppix 2.4 has been released: "This has kernel 2.6.20.1 with the paravirtualization support, KVM compiled in for both Intel and AMD, and QEMU with the kqemu kernel module (big thanks for GPL release). There's also a rom-o-matic boot ROM at /cdrom/kvm-pxe.iso. I'd like to get a virtual compute node running on top of PK using one of the virtualization platforms, for demonstration purposes and pure cool factor." Read the rest of the release announcement on the project's home page. Download: parallelknoppix-2.4.iso (520MB, MD5). Also available via BitTorrent. ParallelKnoppix is a KNOPPIX-based distribution geared for a high performance computing cluster. |

| 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. |
