This sample code demonstrates one of the earlier creative ways of providing an Excel client integrated solution for windows compute cluster server. WCCS is the version 1 of the Microsoft high performance computing solution. The Excel CCS adaptor sample
makes its User Defined Function calls through job submission, COM Proxy and file shares, it works with both V1 and V2 of the product. The adaptor tool's auto proxy distributor allows an end user to cluster-enable their XLLs without having to do any additional
programming.
Version 2 of the product will fully support the new WCF Broker model architecture, where short calls can be efficiently served by WCF SOA model.
We will be looking at more ways to integrate Excel-HPC solutions in the near future.
