Hello all, I'm back from my 2-month sailing adventure, where I was lucky enough to sail up the East Coast of the USA, and then across the Atlantic to Ireland and eventually the UK. I have some pictures on my facebook page, eventually I'll get...

Well, I'm certainly not the most active blogger on the planet, but hopefully that will change when I get back! I'm excited to report that I'm departing on a 2-month sailing adventure, racing one leg of the "Clipper Around the World"...

At PDC last November (2009), Ming Xu from the Microsoft HPC Team gave a talk on using SOA for HPC. During the talk he demonstrated the new SOA cluster debugger available in VS 2010. I remember saying to myself, "Wow, I wish we had that debugger in...

As I noted in a previous blog entry, the MPI debugging story just took another great step forward in Visual Studio and HPC Server 2008. In short, you can be in front of you dev workstation (and inside Visual Studio!) and debug an MPI app running live...

I'm attending PDC this week in LA, where Microsoft raised the bar on giveways --- everyone received a free netbook / tablet with Windows 7! Crazy, but thank you Microsoft. In the HPC space, the architect of Microsoft's HPC SOA framework, Ming...

Interested in CUDA-style programming on GPUS, in particular on the latest programming model --- OpenCL? OpenCL is a platform-neutral, open standard for parallel programming of "modern processors", i.e. multi-core CPUs and GPUs. I'm a more...

And not just one cluster mind you, but two! Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be able to present a half-day tutorial on "Windows HPC Server 2008 --- a developer's perspective". It went reasonably well I think, a good crowd with great questions...

If you're interested in HPC, SC is the place down in Austin, TX, November 16-20. SC is a great mix of academics, professionals, and vendors. I'm happy to be presenting a 3.5 hour tutorial on HPC Server on Monday the 17th: "HPC with Microsoft...

Just spoke at my first code camp, in West Des Moines, Iowa. Good crowd, good questions, and nice folks. Definitely worth the drive out from Chicago, and I hope to do more code camps in the future. I presented two talks related to HPC: "Multi-threading...

Wow, my reading pile just got a lot bigger today. First, the latest (Oct 2008) issue of MSDN contains 4 articles related to parallel processing: "Design considerations for parallel programming" "Improved Support for Parallelism in the next...

The RTM for HPC Server 2008 was recently released, and I've been happily running HPC apps on my clusters. I wanted to run some demos for my students, so I installed the SDK for HPC Server 2008 on the classroom machine (a 32-bit Windows XP box), and...
-
In case you missed it, RTM for Windows HPC Server 2008 is now available here . Don't forget to grab the SDK for HPC Server, which allows you to program MPI, as well as access a cluster programmatically via the HPC Server API. There are also a number...

We're working with Microsoft to develop several tutorials introducing developers to high-performance computing, parallel programming, and Windows HPC Server 2008. Our first tutorial (for experienced HPC developers, "Exploiting Data Parallelism...
-
We're working with Microsoft to develop some tutorials for the HPC Server 2008 SDK. We just finished one of the tutorials, representing a classic HPC development scenario: “Exploiting Data Parallelism with OpenMP, MPI and Microsoft HPC Server 2008”...
