Provide the tools and content necessary to write parallel applications for the Windows HPC Server 2008 platform
The Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 SDK was designed to provide the tools and content necessary to write parallel applications for the Windows HPC Server 2008 platform.
Microsoft HPC Server 2008 (HPC) provides secure, scalable cluster resource management, a job scheduler, and a Message Passing Interface (MPI) stack for parallel programming. HPC includes the Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 SDK that you can use to write client applications that interact with the job scheduler. You can use the SDK to schedule jobs on Microsoft HPC Server 2008 and later servers; you cannot use this SDK to schedule jobs on Microsoft Compute Cluster Server 2003 (CCS). For complete details on the SDK, see Microsoft HPC Pack on MSDN.
