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.
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。
