Microsoft and HPC? Of course!
You certainly want to hear more about what is going on inside Microsoft with the upcoming CCE version of Windows Server. CCE stands for Compute Cluster Edition. Details on this SKU will have to wait a bit.
But wrt HPC, Microsoft is working with many key players in the arena of high performance computing for quite some time already. The Cornell Theory Center is one of those close partners.
Interested in what the Cornell Theory Center is doing wrt Windows clusters this will be an interesting read.
