Q&A: Where does high performance computing fit with Windows Azure?
Answer
I have been asked a couple of times this year about taking compute intensive operations to Windows Azure and/or High Performance Computing on Windows Azure. It is an interesting (if slightly niche) area. The good news is we have a great paper from David Chappell on HPC Server and Windows Azure integration.
As a taster: A SOA application running entirely on Windows Azure runs its WCF services in Azure Worker nodes.
