HPC Server 2008

Before a plane flies for the first time, in the sky, it has flown many thousands of virtual miles in distributed clusters of computation cells, calculating non-linear differential equations of fluid dynamics.  Intelligent Light, with its Fortran and Python writing programmers, represents a…

Author: Hi, I am Daniel Moth   Introduction: Developers using MPI to develop applications, have been experiencing severe productivity pains when it came to debugging those apps on the Windows HPC 2008 cluster. This video shows how easy "F5" now is for C++ MPI…

In this video, Daniel Moth demonstrates features in Visual Studio 2010 that make it easy for developers to debug MPI applications. You can see how easy it is to start using the MPI cluster debugger, which allows developers to easily launch an MPI application on multiple nodes, set breakpoints,…

Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, Beta 1 is the next generation in High Performance Computing for Microsoft. Please join Alex Sutton from the Microsoft HPC engineering team as he presents an overview of Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 beta 1.   Alex  will cover new features for cluster…

IPython (http://ipython.scipy.org/) enables parallel computations to be performed interactively. IPython parallel jobs can now be started using Windows HPC Server 2008, which makes it easy to get starting with interactive parallel computing on Windows.  In this screencast, we show the basic…

Windows HPC Server 2008 introduces a new interactive programming model for High Performance Computing solutions.   Learn how to host Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) components within a compute cluster and how to leverage the cluster in various service-oriented client application…

Excel is often used as the programming environment for developing complex simulations and parameter studies, particularly in the financial and biomedical industries.  Windows HPC Server 2008 includes several features that enable Excel users to harness the power of cluster computing to make…

  Using diskless compute nodes provides many advantages, including improved reliability, reduced cost, and greater security.  HPC Server 2008 R2 beta1 allows clusters to boot over the network, allowing nodes to be diskless.  This video describes how technologies such as…

This video looks at improvements in the R2 version of HPCS 2008 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).  Application programmability, infrastructure, and manageability have all been improved.  Enhancements to features such as active & passive brokers, file & recollect, and…

Improving the speed of the software build/test/deploy cycle is one of the most effective ways of increasing developer productivity.  In order to break the build bottleneck, all limitations to performance must be overcome: dependencies, accuracy, and infrastructure  speed.…
