NewsFirst public beta of Windows HPC Server 2008 available Pin

Microsoft is making parallel computing and high performance computing more available to mainstream developers and to IT professionals. The beta is available at the Windows HPC Server 2008[^] web site.

Today at SuperComputing 2007, Microsoft is announcing:

  • The first public beta of Windows HPC Server 2008[^].
  • The Parallel Computing Initiative, a program creating a set of common multi-core development tools across desktop and cluster.

Windows HPC Server 2008, the successor to Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, is based on the Windows Server 2008 operating system and is designed to increase productivity, scalability and manageability.
Windows HPC Server 2008 offers a feature set broader than compute that enables you to tackle the most challenging HPC workloads, including:

  • New high-speed networking support
  • Highly efficient and scalable cluster management tools
  • Support for partners’ clustered file systems
  • Advanced failover support
  • Service-oriented architecture (SOA) job scheduler expanding the HPC market

Performance metrics have been improved as well.

  • By upgrading Microsoft’s 2,048-core test cluster to Windows HPC Server 2008, the Linpack benchmark results have improved by 30%, matching the very best Linux efficiencies. Same hardware, new software. More importantly, Microsoft did it in two hours.
  • One of the largest Windows-based clusters in the world at the University of Nebraska (1,151 nodes).
  • Multiple customers are deploying large, mixed Windows+Linux clusters (University of Iowa, Cambridge, 3M, and Baker Hughes).
  • Key ecosystem partners announcing new Windows support for mixed clusters (schedulers and clustered file systems).


The Parallel Computing Initiative outlines how Microsoft will create multi-core development tools, runtimes, programming models, libraries, and language extensions. The Parallel Computing Initiative provides a common vision across desktop and cluster, and why parallelism is strategic to Microsoft. Given that Moore’s Law will largely be driven by multi-core moving forward, Microsoft wants customers and partners to see Windows as their strategic multi-core development platform.

You can download the beta and white papers at Windows HPC Server 2008[^] web site.
