PelicanHPC is an iso-hybrid (CD or USB) image that let's you set up a high performance computing cluster in a few minutes.
pelicanhpc is a debianbased live cd image with a goal to make it simple to set up a high performance computing cluster. the frontend node (either a real computer or a virtual machine) boots from the cd image. the compute nodes boot by preexecution environment (pxe), using the frontend 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.
