Job Scheduler

The job scheduler scales to a larger number of nodes and processing cores, while boosting overall cluster utilization through more sophisticated scheduling policies. Some examples present in the CTP include:

• Scheduling at Scale and improved task throughput

• Ability to monitor Job Progress with greater granularity

• Ability to set up Pre and Post Tasks

Runtimes

Runtime support has now been expanded to include more robust programming models as well improved support for jobs based on the SOA programming model. Examples present in the CTP include:

• Fire and Recollect Programming Model

• Fire and Recollect Programming Model WCF Broker Re-architecture to permit job throttling etc.

• Greater interoperability with Java based jobs

Management

With Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, you get a scalable platform both from a deployment and system management perspective as well as extensibility of the reporting functions to ensure more productive system management. Some examples included in the CTP are:

• Deployment at large node counts

• Efficient Management at large node counts

• Customizable Heat Map for better system wide monitoring

• Extensible reporting to tailor HPC infrastructure reports for specific requirements
