Windows HPC Server Debuts in Top 25 of World’s Top 500 Largest Supercomputers

 

For anyone who might question Microsoft’s maturation into a truly “enterprise ready” alternative to other high-cost providers, check out the video above and this quote …

“Our experience with Windows HPC Server 2008 has been impressive,” said Robert Pennington, deputy director of the NCSA. “Deploying it was much easier than we expected, and the performance results have surpassed our expectations. When we deployed Windows on our cluster, which has more than 1,000 nodes, we went from bare metal to running the LINPACK benchmark programs in just four hours. The performance of Windows HPC Server 2008 has yielded efficiencies that are among the highest we’ve seen for this class of machine.”
