HPC Resource Kit: Windows HPC Server 2008 OEM Guide
< Go Back
Windows HPC Server 2008 provides an integrated application platform for developing, deploying, running, and managing high performance computing (HPC) applications. The "Windows HPC Server 2008 OEM Guide" provides procedures and guidance for pre-configuring an HPC cluster using Windows HPC Server 2008. This guide is intended for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) only; end users should refer to the product documentation.
The guide begins by outlining the system requirements for Windows HPC Server 2008, including software and hardware requirements, BIOS settings, and network topology. Next, learn how to create the OEM media (the set of images required for factory setup), which involves configuring the technician's computer and creating the cluster node image files. The guide then describes configuring the three sets of customizations available for the HPC OEM setup process: the HPC setup scripts, the pre-configuration scripts, and the OEM customization files. The guide concludes with a look at the customer experience and customer media requirements.
