[HPCwire: Relevant HPC news stories from around the globe] HPCwire: Microsoft Broadens Supercomputing Reach with New Offerings: announced the immediate availability of betas for Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 and distributed Microsoft Office Excel 2010 for the cluster. Together with the recently announced Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta, which helps simplify parallel programming, these advances make it possible for more users to access supercomputing power through familiar technologies and tools such as Microsoft Office Excel, Windows Server and Visual Studio.

[PetroComputing] Microsoft Offers Betas for Supercomputing Clusters « PetroComputing:             “Many frontline researchers, analysts and scientists desperately need access to more computational power than they currently have, but find it either difficult or too costly in time to gain access to expanded HPC resources. Windows HPC Server 2008 has been designed to address the needs of those wishing to expand their access to HPC, without requiring them to become computer programming experts,”

[SciTechBlog] Military purchases 2200 PS3s - SciTechBlog - CNN.com Blogs: Most likely outside viruses like the virus enemies of the War in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are already using on US computers to see everyday life will now target PS3s and PS3 operating systems or logic boards. That would be too bad if hundreds of children had their X-Mas toys broken because of the War in the middle East, I guess we could all loose something special because of the War, a childs happiness via a 200x computer (compared to an 87 Atari) or more souls in the War that can be stopped but how can we even celebrate while other people are dying by the score for revenge for New York with no target or plans to ever stop the killing.

[CNET News.com] Microsoft testing Excel for supercomputers | Beyond Binary - CNET News: The announcements are the latest in Microsoft's push over the last few years to better compete against Linux in the market for compute clusters--high-performance systems built by linking together large numbers of standard servers. Last year, for example, Microsoft managed to crack the upper echelons of the supercomputing ranks, landing in the top 25 rankings for the first time.

[GridGain - Cloud Development Platform] GridGain - Cloud Development Platform : Weblog: I think that the next logical step will come with dramatic simplification of how we develop a Native Cloud Application (NCAs) - the application that can finally take full advantage of cloud computing infrastructure. NCAs are the next big thing in distributed computing as they will provide the software foundation matching the power of the cloud-based hardware infrastructure.

[Cluster Connection] Cluster Connection » Sharing The Load: Cluster Resource Schedulers: Another interesting note about resource schedulers is the fact that modern multi-core/multi-processor motherboards run their own scheduler as part of the OS. In particular, the OS must decide where to place a process and at the same time balance the processes so all cores are equally busy, but try to keep processes on the same core so that data in the processor cache can be reused.
