And not just one cluster mind you, but two! Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be able to present a half-day tutorial on "Windows HPC Server 2008 --- a developer's perspective". It went reasonably well I think, a good crowd with great questions...

If you're interested in HPC, SC is the place down in Austin, TX, November 16-20. SC is a great mix of academics, professionals, and vendors. I'm happy to be presenting a 3.5 hour tutorial on HPC Server on Monday the 17th: "HPC with Microsoft...

Just spoke at my first code camp, in West Des Moines, Iowa. Good crowd, good questions, and nice folks. Definitely worth the drive out from Chicago, and I hope to do more code camps in the future. I presented two talks related to HPC: "Multi-threading...

Wow, my reading pile just got a lot bigger today. First, the latest (Oct 2008) issue of MSDN contains 4 articles related to parallel processing: "Design considerations for parallel programming" "Improved Support for Parallelism in the next...

The RTM for HPC Server 2008 was recently released, and I've been happily running HPC apps on my clusters. I wanted to run some demos for my students, so I installed the SDK for HPC Server 2008 on the classroom machine (a 32-bit Windows XP box), and...

In case you missed it, RTM for Windows HPC Server 2008 is now available here . Don't forget to grab the SDK for HPC Server, which allows you to program MPI, as well as access a cluster programmatically via the HPC Server API. There are also a number...

We're working with Microsoft to develop several tutorials introducing developers to high-performance computing, parallel programming, and Windows HPC Server 2008. Our first tutorial (for experienced HPC developers, "Exploiting Data Parallelism...
-
We're working with Microsoft to develop some tutorials for the HPC Server 2008 SDK. We just finished one of the tutorials, representing a classic HPC development scenario: “Exploiting Data Parallelism with OpenMP, MPI and Microsoft HPC Server 2008”...

Microsoft has just released a CTP of its upcoming HPC Server 2008 product (the next version of Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003). The MPI library has undergone a series of performance enhancements (e.g. Network Direct for more efficient message communication...

During the first run of our Windows Compute Cluster Server class last week in Irvine, we discovered that when you install the SDK for Compute Cluster Pack, the wrong version of msmpe.lib is installed. In particular, the 64-bit msmpe.lib file, which gets...

At Supercomputing last week, Microsoft announced the next version of its HPC product: HPC Server 2008. The current version (”Windows Compute Cluster Server” or WCCS) is built upon Server 2003, while this next version is built upon Server 2008...

Michael Wolfe, PhD, is a well-known compiler writer and parallelization guru, and currently works for The Portland Group . He gave a vendor talk at Supercomputing this week (Reno, NV) on what he calls “Data Streaming”. He started by showing...
-
My PhD is in parallelizing compilers, back in the 1990's when supercomputers were hot. Then the field cooled off, as the machines were too costly, the programming models were too difficult, and the auto-parallelizing compilers failed to live up to (unrealistic...

I'm sure you've heard about LINQ, but just in case you haven't, it stands for Language Integrated Query. I just finished a 60-page overview of LINQ, which is available as a PDF from O'Reilly: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/language1/?CMP=ILC-2RQ886833906&ATT...

For the academics in the crowd... I was under the impression that Microsoft's Academic Alliance was providing Visual Studio Team System as trial software that expires after 180 days. Turns out that if you contact MSDNAA, you can get a volume licensing...
