We have finished version 3 of Windows HPC Server! The verbose, official, and approved name is <\/span>Windows HPC Server 2008 R2<\/span> Suite signaling that we are leveraging Windows Server 2008 R2 as our core operating system but make no mistake, this is the big v3 release, our most ambitious release. It\u2019s like the third stage of a rocket firing. What makes it a big deal? We have continued to improve performance while adding new features that will increase the size of the HPC community.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes people think Supercomputing is all about the Top500 List, the list of the most powerful 500 supercomputers in the world, but HPC is more than that. It\u2019s about enabling the next generation of complex simulations in biology, chemistry, physics, finance, weather, and more. Microsoft\u2019s ambition is not limited to the top500 but also to ensure the next 500K is just as capable, increasing the number of people and applications that can use the power of cluster based supercomputing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
