Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 R2 and HPC Pack 2012

 

Applies To: Microsoft HPC Pack 2012, Microsoft HPC Pack 2012 R2

The content in this technical library is intended for users who want to evaluate, set up, deploy, maintain, and submit jobs to a Windows HPC cluster that is created by using Microsoft® HPC Pack 2012 R2 or HPC Pack 2012. HPC Pack allows you to create and manage HPC clusters consisting of dedicated on-premises compute nodes, part-time servers, workstation computers, and dedicated or on-demand resources that are deployed in Microsoft Azure.

The latest release of HPC Pack, HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3, is a free download available on the Microsoft Download Center. Download upgrade packages for existing HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 2 clusters, or an integrated package for new cluster installations. To deploy a complete HPC Pack cluster in Azure infrastructure services, use the available HPC Pack VM images in the Azure Marketplace.

For more information about new and updated features, see What's New in HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3.

For installation information and a list of known issues, see Release Notes for HPC Pack 2012 R2 Update 3.
