Using HPC

The following topics demonstrate how to use the Microsoft HPC API:

• Connecting to a Cluster
• Getting a List of Nodes in the Cluster
• Getting a List of Jobs
• Creating and Submitting a Job
• Creating Parametric Sweep Task
• Cloning a Job
• Updating a Job
• Executing Commands
• Filtering and Sorting Lists of Objects

Note  You can use the HPC SDK to schedule jobs on Windows HPC Server 2008 and Windows HPC Server 2008 R2, but not on Microsoft Compute Cluster Server 2003 (CCS). For information on the SDK for CCS, see Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack.

 

For .NET users, the following topics demonstrate features not supported by the COM version of the API:

• Using a Rowset to Enumerate a List of Objects
• Using HPC Sessions to Run SOA-based Applications
