Microsoft today announced a cluster server operating system "Windows HPC Server 2008" designed for the high-performance computing (HPC) field, and released the first Beta public beta. In addition, Microsoft has launched a parallel computing project called "Parallel Computing Initiative", which aims to develop a series of common development tools that span multi-core desktops and clusters.
In the 30th global supercomputer ranking released yesterday, the Microsoft system only occupied 6 sets, far less than the 381 sets of Linux. I believe that Microsoft’s announcement today is also a response to this.
Windows HPC Server 2008 will be the successor to the existing Windows Computer Cluster Server 2003, based on the Windows Server 2008 64-bit system core, so 32-bit and IA64 architecture hardware is not supported. Undoubtedly, the new naming scheme means that Microsoft is ready to meet the toughest HPC workload test.
Windows HPC Server 2008 will provide new high-speed networking, efficient and flexible cluster management tools, service-oriented architecture (SOA) engineering scheduling, and support for partner cluster file systems for computational fluid dynamics, Large-scale parallel projects such as water conservancy hub simulations, or complex parallel projects such as BLAST and Monte Carlo simulation.
Altair Engineering Inc., Cluster Resources Inc., Platform Computing and many other related companies have announced support for Windows HPC Server 2008, while Panasas, Quantum Corp StorNext, HP PolyServe, and Sanbolic's cluster file system are available. With the support of this system, IBM's IBM GPFS will also join the ranks in the near future.
In the computing center of the University of Nebraska PKI Institute, Windows HPC Server 2008 has been deployed on a large cluster of 1,151 nodes to serve government, scientific and industrial users. . The University of Iowa, Cambridge University, 3M, and Baker Hughes Inc. (alcohol services companies) have also begun to deploy the system.
Windows HPC Server 2008 Beta 1 is available at http://www.microsoft.com/hpc through the Microsoft Connect project, and the final official version will be released in the second half of 2008.
