Microsoft Researchers Boost Task Productivity Fiftyfold With Cluster Server Software
Overview Since 2003, scientists at Microsoft Research have been performing research on the design of a vaccine for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). However, with only six personal computers and 10 processors, the research team struggled to perform statistical analysis, which required a year of computer processing, or CPU time. With the help of the High Performance Computing (HPC) group at Microsoft, the team deployed Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 on 25 IBM server computers. Now, the research team can run 50 jobs - of 200,000 work items each - in the time it once took to run 1 job. As a result, the research team has gained enough insights to publish in the top scientific journals.
