KWOK is a toolkit that enables setting up a cluster of thousands of Nodes in seconds. Under the scene, all Nodes are simulated to behave like real ones, so the overall approach employs a pretty low resource footprint that you can easily play around with on your laptop.

...You can run Pelican on a single multiple core machine to use all cores to solve a problem, or you can network multiple computers together to make a cluster. The frontend node (either a real computer or a virtual machine) boots from the image. The compute nodes boot by PXE, using the frontend node as the server. All of the nodes of the cluster get their filesystems from the same image, so it is guaranteed that all nodes run the the same software. Packages can be added to all nodes using apt-get, thanks to aufs. The bootable image is created by running a single script, which takes advantage of the Debian Live infrastructure.

Rack OS was designed to boot OS root on /dev/ram0 so that you can remove usb disk or network cable freely after OS booted.

DRBL provides diskless or systemless environment. It uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partition and disk cloning utility similar to Ghost.

XCPU is a suite of tools for cluster management. It includes utilities for job starting, cluster resource management, scalable distribution of boot images as well as creation and control of virtual machines in a cluster environment.

GeDI, the GEneric Diskless Installer, is a set of bash scripts charged with the simple purpose of making it easier to install and manage a set of diskless clients.

System Configurator is a utility for automatically configuring networking and bootstrapping in a Linux Distribution and Architecture agnostic way.

Netbootmgr provides a GUI and CLI for managing the next boot action for network booted nodes of a cluster. The GUI includes node status information and provides an interface to cluster node power control.

lxbios is a utility for reading/writing LinuxBIOS parameters and displaying information from the LinuxBIOS table. It is intended for x86-based Linux systems (either 32-bit or 64-bit) that use LinuxBIOS.

autoswap is a tool (written in Perl) that allows for swap space to be created automatically based upon the amount of RAM in the machine or configuration. Useful for cluster configuration.

biosconfig is a flexible tool to automate CMOS non-volatile store parameter modification.

openMosixLOAF is a single floppy openMosix Linux mini-distro designed for diskless systems or HPC clusters where only CPU and memory is needed. It has drivers for all PCI Ethernet NICs that the Linux kernel has support for (10/100/1000).

The FreeBIOS project aims to provide a replacement for any computer's firmware, and support advanced or custom features and configurations. Initial code supports Intel-based only, but other processors and chipsets will be supported.

The idea of this project is to create a bootable CD, something like SuSE live eval which can be used to boot any PC (or Mac, hopefully) on a Network and log it onto a cluster. Any help is welcome!

Talkware TIARA, an Openbios/GRUB/PFORTH composite, BIOS replacement. Boots an unmodifed linux kernel from an IDE drive or ethernet, using only 128kb of flash. Works with INTEL/AMD K6/2-450, SiS 530/5595 and 8139 enet. VGA & Serial console supported.
