BCCD
BCCD (Bootable Cluster CD) (Bootable Computing Cluster Distribution) is a live CD intended for use as an pedagogical tool for high school and college computational science educators. Using the BCCD, one can quickly setup a compute cluster with all the tools needed to start teaching computational science or parallel programming. Optionally, a permanent cluster maybe automatically configured by copying the live CD image onto a hard drive.
