Development Release: ParallelKnoppix64 2.6 RC1 |
| Michael Creel has announced the availability of the first 64-bit edition of ParallelKnoppix, a KNOPPIX-based live CD that provides an easy way of setting up a cluster of machines for parallel processing: "Big news - the first release candidate of a 64-bit edition of ParallelKnoppix is out. This is version 2.6, for 64-bit CPUs. It won't run on 32-bit CPUs, so for mixed clusters you need to use the 32-bit edition. A big thanks to the VMKNOPPIX people for their 5.1.1 64-bit release, which was used as the base, and to Intel Software for a hardware donation that helped with development of this version. I have a limited set of 64-bit hardware for testing, so reports are especially welcome." Please visit the project's home page to read the release announcement. The CD image is available via BitTorrent and also from this HTTP server: parallelknoppix64-2.6-rc1.iso (644MB, MD5). |

| 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. |
