Microsoft® Windows® HPC
Server 2008 (HPCS), the next generation of high performance
computing (HPC), provides enterprise-class tools, performance,
and scalability for a highly productive HPC environment. HPCS
provides a complete and integrated cluster environment including
the operating system, a Job Scheduler, Message Passing Interface
v2 (MPI2) support, and cluster management and monitoring
components. Built on Windows Server® 2008 64-bit technology,
HPCS can efficiently scale to thousands of processing cores and
includes a management console that helps proactively monitor and
maintain system health and stability. Job scheduling
interoperability and flexibility enables integration between
Windows and Linux-based HPC platforms, and supports batch and
service-oriented architecture (SOA) workloads. Enhanced
productivity, scalable performance, and ease of use are some of
the features that make Windows HPC Server 2008 best-of-breed for
Windows environments.
Windows HPC Server 2008
can help shorten user time-to-insight for HPC workloads through
easier deployment and management. By using the existing
Windows-based information technology (IT) infrastructure, HPCS
simplifies management, security, and storage for the cluster,
and provides seamless access from the desktop.
Windows HPC Server 2008
is a two-DVD package. The first DVD contains the setup for a
64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 that is restricted to an
HPC workload, and the second DVD contains Microsoft HPC Pack
2008, which provides the additional interfaces, tools, and
management infrastructure.
The minimum
hardware requirements for Windows HPC Server 2008 are similar to
the hardware requirements for the x64-based version of the
Windows Server 2008 Standard operating system. Windows HPC
Server 2008 supports up to 128 GB of RAM.
Windows HPC Server 2008
combines the underlying stability and security of Windows Server
2008 with the features of HPC Pack 2008 to provide a robust and
productive high performance computing solution. The key elements
of the HPCS solution include:
·
Deployment
·
Management
·
Microsoft Message Passing Interface
(MS-MPI)
·
Job Scheduler
·
Security
