Windows Azure HPC Scheduler
The Windows Azure HPC Scheduler SDK includes modules and features that developers can use to create Windows Azure deployments that support compute-intensive, parallel applications that can scale when offered more compute power. The Windows Azure HPC Scheduler SDK enables developers to define a Windows Azure deployment that includes built-in job scheduling and resource management; runtime support for Message Passing Interface (MPI), service-oriented architecture (SOA), parametric sweep, and LINQ to HPC applications; web-based job submission interfaces; and persistent state management of job queue and resource configuration.
Applications that have been built using the on-premises job submission API in Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 can use very similar job submission interfaces in the Windows Azure HPC Scheduler.

| To see how others have adapted and expanded on the basic Windows Azure HPC Scheduler sample service, read about and try the Cloud Numerics lab. Cloud Numerics is a numerical and data analytics library for data scientists, quantitative analysts, and others who write C# applications in Visual Studio. It enables these applications to be scaled out, deployed, and run on Windows Azure. |
