ParallelKnoppix
is a remaster of the Knoppix live CD distibution of GNU Linux that
allows setting up a cluster of machines for parallel processing using
the LAM-MPI and/or MPICH implementations of MPI, as well as PVM. 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. The tutorial explains in detail how to set it up.
