PelicanHPC 2.9 发布，简化高性能计算集群的安装

PelicanHPC是基于Debian的自启动运行光盘镜像，其宗旨是简化高性能计算集群的安装。其前端节点（或者是真实的计算机，或者是虚拟机）直接 从该镜像引导。计算节点则依靠预执行环境（PXE）来启动，它们以前端节点为服务器。集群的所有节点都从相同的光盘镜像获取它们的文件系统，因此，所有的 节点都运行相同的软件。该光盘镜像通过运行一份单独的脚本创建而得，这也使得可以基于额外的Debian软件包来定制该自启动运行光盘镜像。

Michael Creel has announced the release of PelicanHPC 2.9, a Debian-based live DVD that makes it possible to set up high-performance computing clusters in minutes: " PelicanHPC version 2.9 is available. Octave 3.6.3, dynare 4.3.1, some updates to the econometrics stuff, and also the usual sync to Debian. This release is mainly to incorporate package updates from Debian. A note: PelicanHPC is based on Debian stable ('Squeeze'), and is made using live-build v2.x. Before too long, the testing version of Debian ('Wheezy') will become stable. To make live images with 'Wheezy', you need to use live-build v3.x. The build script for PelicanHPC will need to be adapted to use live-build 3.x. I doubt that I will have time/interest to do that, so if anyone would like to take on the job, feel free to go for it." Visit the distribution's home page to read the brief release announcement.
