Windows HPC Server 2008
Windows HPC Server 2008 is a high performance computing (HPC) solution built on Windows Server technology. It provides a comprehensive set of deployment, administration, scheduling and monitoring tools for your HPC environment. The advanced job scheduler includes a command-line, graphical user interface (GUI), and application programming interface for submitting jobs to the cluster. Job scheduling interoperability enables integration between Windows and Linux based HPC platforms, and supports batch and service-oriented application (SOA) workloads.

HPC Templates with Josh BarnardHPC PM Josh Barnard discusses how to use templates in High Performance Computing. Job templates provide a way to control the job submission process—partitioning the cluster, prioritizing the jobs, and limiting the resources used by jobs. They let the IT administrator specify different handling for different types of jobs. For the user, job templates provide a way to easily submit a job without having to obtain an in-depth understanding of how the Job Scheduler works.
HPC R2 Demo: New job progress, job troubleshooting featuresRyan Baker, UX Researcher in the HPC team, demonstrates the new UI changes in the Beta 1 release of Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 for job progress and job troubleshooting. He also demonstrates how the new service-balanced scheduling policy works in this release. This demo was recorded during the SC 09 conference in Portland.
