Microsoft and Windows HPC Server 2008
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq “MSFT”) is the worldwide leader in software, services
and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential. Windows HPC
Server 2008 provides a productive, cost-effective, and high-performance computing (HPC)
solution that runs on x64-bit hardware. Windows HPC Server 2008 can be deployed, managed,
and extended using familiar tools and technologies. Windows HPC Server 2008 enables broader
adoption of HPC by providing a rich and integrated end-user experience scaling from the
desktop application to the clusters. A wide range of software vendors, in various verticals,
have designed their applications to work seamlessly with Windows HPC Server 2008 so that
users can submit and monitor jobs from within familiar applications without having to
learn new or complex user interfaces. Developing parallel programs requires integrated
development environments along with support for distributed computing standards. Visual
Studio 2008 provides a comprehensive parallel programming environment for Windows HPC
Server 2008. In addition to supporting OpenMP, MPI, and Web Services, Windows HPC Server
2008 also supports third-party numerical library providers, performance optimizers,
compilers, and a native parallel debugger for developing and troubleshooting parallel
programs.These major investments from Microsoft in high-performance computing and parallel programming will enable a broader set of commercial application vendors as well as corporate and research programmers to embrace parallelism and take full advantage of the potential performance gains that are made available through adoption of multicore processors and server clusters.
