University Researchers and Students Use Solution to Simplify High Performance Computing

Overview The Technical University of Berlin used a range of predominantly UNIX-based HPC solutions. But, in keeping with the university's policy of adopting the latest innovative technology, executives were keen to test a Windows-based HPC environment for staff and students. In April 2008, Microsoft and Dell took the chance to offer the university a trial of Windows HPC Server 2008. Now, students can train to use and maintain high-performance clusters, making complex calculations through a simple Windows interface.
