Windows HPC Server brings the power, performance, and scale of high performance computing (HPC) to mainstream computing. The centralized management and deployment interface helps to simplify deployment for both large and small compute clusters and provide a simple and effective management experience to increase cluster administrator productivity. Microsoft HPC Pack includes a highly scalable job scheduler that provides support for interactive service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications using high performance computing for Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and parallel jobs using Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MS-MPI). Essential applications from key independent software providers (ISVs) can be run on the cluster to help you meet your business needs in a timely, cost-effective, and highly productive manner. Windows Server helps to provide seamless security, storage, and desktop access to cluster resources and management. Microsoft Visual Studio provides parallel debugging capabilities for use with Windows HPC Server, and MS-MPI is now integrated with the Event Tracing for Windows infrastructure. This consolidates application, networking, and operating system events from many compute nodes into a single, time-correlated record to speed debugging.
