9月22日，Windows HPC Server 2008在华尔街HPC大会上震撼发布了! 微软副总裁Bill Laing在会上发表主题讲话，向大家说明微软正努力致力于把高性能计算平民化主流化，在众多合作伙伴的支持下也有实力完成这个目标。这一点，从我们的一些中国用户，比如上海超算中心、上海交通大学、南京地震局的产品试用感想中可以得到充分的证明。
我非常荣幸成为这个卓越产品组的一员，上海团队出色地开发完成了承担的功能: 图形化管理界面， powershell脚本命令， 报表和一种新的面向服务架构的编程模型。我还有幸参加了刚在新加坡举行的亚太区发布仪式，如照片所示，我在那里向很多感兴趣的听众介绍了Windows HPC Server 2008。
我们不会止步于此，关于微软高性能计算第三版的产品，我们会结合开发前两个版本的经验，开始在并行程序运行时和集群管理方面施展拳脚。同时，我们将和开发工具部门同事们紧密合作，为HPC平台提供在桌面机上同样简单高效的开发体验。
愿意加入我们吗？只需要发封简历到hpcjobs@microsoft.com。下次，大家就会在这里看到一位从美国团队转来我们队伍的HPC行业领军人物，带领我们开发并行程序运行时的功能！承担这一功能是我们团队向前迈进的坚实一步，也充分证明了我们过去几年脚踏实地的成绩。我都等不及要把这位兄弟介绍给大家了！
赶紧系好安全带吧，Windows HPC最精华的部分就要闪亮登场了！
On Sept 22nd, we announced the Windows HPC Server 2008 released to market at the HPC on Wall Street conference. Our VP Bill Laing’s well received keynote at the conference has convinced the audience that Microsoft is serious in taking HPC mainstream and is certainly able to do so thanks to the strong partner ecosystem and Microsoft portfolio of products. And customer testimonials from the China customers such as SSC, SJTU, Nanjing Earthquake Bureau summed it up the best.
I was fortunate to be a part of this nimble, overachieving team. We accomplished what we set out to do, taking on a broad ownership in the areas of Admin UI, SOA programming model, Reporting and Powershell, and delivered with exceptional quality. I was fortunate to participate in the APAC launch in Singapore, there were a good turnout of crowd and many were blown away to see Microsoft Here is a picture of me giving a talk on our Windows HPC Server 2008.
And we are not stopping here, going forward in v3, we will consolidate our experience in building our v1 and v2 product, and start building a focused expertise around Parallel Runtime and Admin Experience. Also we will work closely with our DevDiv friends to provide a seamless developer experience on HPC platform.
As always, if you are interested in joining this highly technical, overachieving team, send a mail to hpcjobs@microsoft.com. Next time, you will hear from a HPC industry icon whom decided to join the Shanghai HPC team to build the Parallel Runtime features here. This is a giant step for the team, and also validated the huge progress we have made in the past few years. I can’t wait to introduce him to all the readers!
Strap on your seatbelt, The best of Windows HPC is yet to come!
