• Files included in the sample

The HPC Web Parts

The SharePoint Web Parts solution file contains the HPC Job List, HPC Job Submit, and HPC Job Details Web Parts. Together, these Web Parts provide the ability to submit, monitor, and manage compute jobs. The HPC Web Parts provide a subset of the functionality that is available to cluster users in HPC Job Manager.

HPC Job List Web Part

The HPC Job List displays the jobs on the Windows HPC cluster. You can monitor the state of your job, and you can click on your job ID to access the following actions:

• View Job: View job or task properties, states, and results.

• Modify Job: Make changes or add tasks to active jobs.

• Copy Job: Run a job again, either as-is, or with changes.

• Cancel Job: Remove a job or task from the queue, and free its resources. If you cancel a running job, it is marked as Failed.

• Requeue Job: Put unfinished jobs or tasks back into the queue.
