RTM for HPC Server 2008 is now available

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 of tutorials and how-to articles available on Microsoft's developer resources page, two of which we wrote and blogged about earlier:  "Classic HPC Development using Visual C++", and "From Sequential to Parallel Code".  The former is for more experienced HPC C++ developers, and uses OpenMP, MPI and MPI.NET to develop an image processing application.  The latter is oriented towards newcomers to HPC and HPC Server 2008, and shows how to move step-by-step from a sequential, desktop GUI application (managed C++ or C#) to a parallel, cluster-based application.  A variety of parallelization techniques are presented, including parametric sweep, explicit threads, OpenMP, TPL, and HPC Server's new SOA-based approach.  Both tutorials include extensive lab exercises, solutions, and demos.

Cheers!
