Our Windows HPC Server 2008 <em>BETA</em> is already placing in the Top 25 as one of the world's fastest supercomputers (at #23) performing at the 68.5-teraflop (68.5 trillion floating point operations per second) level. It runs on commodity hardware and reported 78% application efficiency on almost 9,500 cores. The final release version of Windows HPC Server 2008 is set for general availability during the last week of June 2008.</p> <p>Check out the product <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/9/a/69a5e2aa-74b2-4c09-8d28-f812cd25eedb/Windows%20HPC%20Server%202008_Overview_Datasheet.pdf" target="_blank">datasheet</a> ... also a IT trade <a href="http://www.eweek.com/index.php?option=content&amp;task=view&amp;id=48585&amp;Itemid=28&amp;limit=&amp;limitstart=&amp;mosmsg=Thanks%20For%20Your%20Vote!" target="_blank">article</a> on this achievement at eWeek.</p><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3074566" width="1" height="1">BusinessHPCWindows Server
