About

Rocks is an open source Linux cluster distribution that enables end users to easily build computational clusters, grid endpoints, and visualization tiled-display walls. Since May 2000, the Rocks group has been addressing the difficulties of deploying manageable clusters with the goal of making clusters easy to deploy, manage, upgrade, and scale. The latest update, Rocks 7.0, codenamed Manzanita, is a 64-bit-only release based upon CentOS 7.4, with all updates applied as of December 1, 2017. Rocks include many tools, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI), which are integral components that make a group of computers into a cluster. Installations can be customized with additional software packages at install time by using special user-supplied CDs. The Spectre/Meltdown security vulnerabilities affect (nearly) all hardware and are addressed by OS updates.

About

xCAT (Extreme Cloud Administration Toolkit) is an open source tool designed to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of bare metal servers and virtual machines. It offers comprehensive management capabilities for high-performance computing clusters, render farms, grids, web farms, online gaming infrastructures, clouds, and data centers. xCAT provides an extensible framework based on years of system administration best practices, enabling administrators to discover hardware servers, execute remote system management, provision operating systems on physical or virtual machines in both disk and diskless modes, install and configure user applications, and perform parallel system management. The toolkit supports various operating systems, including Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE, and CentOS, and is compatible with architectures such as ppc64le, x86_64, and ppc64. It integrates with management protocols like IPMI, HMC, FSP, and OpenBMC, facilitating remote console access.
