New Application Scenarios
< Go Back
The "New Application Scenarios" presentation examines the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) programming model for high-performance computing (HPC) applications in Windows HPC Server 2008.
The presentation begins by discussing the benefits in building, running, and managing a solution that combines WCF with HPC, and then delves into the architecture of such a solution. This is followed by a demonstration showing how to use an HPC and WCF solution for bond calculations in Microsoft Office Excel. The discussion then focuses on the details of WCF, with additional demonstrations that show how to create and deploy a service and how to create the client.
The presentation concludes with a look at managing service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications through monitoring the WCF broker nodes, running diagnostic tests, and monitoring the service jobs. A final demonstration shows the admin console and the job console.
