Windows HPC Server 2008 Webcasts
Windows HPC Server Development, the MPI Application Model
September 11, 2008, at 8:00am PDT and 7:00pm PDT
Windows HPC Server 2008 introduces innovative features for traditional High Performance Computing solutions. Significant improvements have been implemented across the entire HPC stack. Learn about the new Network Direct RDMA technology and how it enables very fast, high-bandwidth, distributed shared memory computing. MS MPI is now integrated with Event Tracing for Windows easing the task of profiling, analysis, and visualization of HPC solution performance. A new Job Scheduler architecture delivers impressive performance while also enabling intelligent scheduling policies and resource management. Traditional HPC solution developers will appreciate the elegance of Microsoft’s latest platform technologies while those new to the parallel computing problem domain will want to consider Windows HPC based solutions.

Performance and Networking Gains with Windows HPC Server 2008
October 15, 2008, 8:00am PDT and October 16, 2008, 7:00pm PDT
The ability for engineers and researchers in all types of organizations to efficiently and reliably run parallel applications is mission critical. In answer to that, Bill Gates set a goal at Supercomputer 2005 to provide a platform which could make the power of high performance computing available to the masses. Three years later, Microsoft is introducing Windows HPC Server 2008, and new HPC platform that includes many performance and scalability improvements designed to reliably handle some of the toughest parallel applications, while still providing ease of management. This webinar will discuss several of the new features and performance enhancements designed to make Windows HPC Server 2008 ideal for the most demanding research, scientific, and engineering environments.
