CPU Spinner

Version: 1.0

Description

This sample demonstrates how to run an HPC parametric sweep application on Windows Azure compute nodes.

Overview

The HPC CPU Spinner sample demonstrates how to run an HPC parametric sweep application on Windows Azure compute nodes. This sample uses a basic CPU spinner application that loads the CPU of the machine in which it runs.

Note:
Though this sample was originally developed for Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP1, it has been verified to run under Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP2. The sample should preferably be run under Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP2.

Key Features

This sample demonstrates the following:

  • Uploading a parametric sweep application package to Windows Azure nodes.

  • Creating and running a parametric sweep job in a Windows HPC 2008 R2 SP1 cluster.
