ParallelKnoppix 2.0 LiveCD

Menggunakan ParallelKnoppix (PK) Anda dapat membangun sistem "Komputer Super" HPC cluster dalam sekejap. PK adalah remaster dari Knoppix live CD distibution memungkinkan membangun cluster untuk parallel processing menggunakan MPI. Implementasi openMPI, LAM-MPI and MPICH telah terinstalasi, termasuk PVM juga disediakan. 

PK is a remaster of the Knoppix live CD distibution of GNU Linux that allows setting up a cluster of machines for parallel processing using MPI. The openMPI, LAM-MPI and MPICH implementations are installed and ready to use. PVM is also included. You can convert a room full of machines running Windows into a Linux cluster, and when you shut down, your Windows machines are in their original state. The computers in the cluster can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Getting the cluster up and running takes about 5 minutes, if the machines have PXE network cards. Clusters from 2 to 200 machines are supported. A cluster created with PK is temporary - if you want to use it another time you must recreate it (another 5 minutes work). It's also single-user. For a multi-user, permanent cluster, you should look at other solutions, including ROCKS and Warewulf. PK can server as a gentle, smooth learning curve way to get into HPC clustering.
