At the Supercomputing Conference this week, Microsoft announced the availability of a software developer kit (SDK) for Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 (previously known as Windows Server 2003, High-Performance Computing Edition). The SDK will be available to qualifying partners and will provide the necessary tools for developers to build new and more integrated applications.
Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 is based on Windows Server 2003 and will support high-performance hardware and industry standards such as MPI-2 and RDMA over Ethernet and Infiniband, as well as MPICH. Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 will also include an integrated job scheduler and cluster resource management.
