Getting Started with Application Deployment with the Windows Azure HPC Scheduler

This guide walks through how to build and deploy a sample Windows Azure service that uses the Windows Azure HPC Scheduler SDK. The Windows Azure HPC Scheduler SDK includes plug-ins and tools that developers can use to deploy their Windows Azure applications with the Windows Azure HPC Scheduler. These deployments can be used to support and schedule scalable, compute-intensive, parallel applications such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) service-oriented architecture (SOA), parametric sweep, and LINQ to HPC applications.
