PGI CDK Cluster Development Kit for Windows CCS

The Portland group just released a CDK for Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS). From sys-con:

"Until now, the PGI CDK has been available only for Linux-based clusters based on 32-bit and 64-bit microprocessors from AMD and Intel. The Portland Group extends to these same platforms support for the Microsoft 64-bit Compute Cluster Server operating systems with this release.

"'With an accelerating trend towards platform diversification in the HPC market, PGI remains committed to providing HPC developers with the best performance on their choice of platform," said Douglas Miles, director, The Portland Group. "The HPC community has recognized PGI compilers for delivering world-class performance across a wide spectrum of applications and benchmarks running on workstations and servers based on both major x64 processors, and the introduction of PGI CDK for Windows CCS gives the HPC community another option for cluster programming.'"
