HPC Pack 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) provides the latest performance, reliability, and security updates to the HPC Pack 2008 product. It is recommended for all users of HPC Pack 2008.

HPC Pack Tool Packs contain utilities that can be used with HPC Pack 2008 and 2008 R2-based clusters.

Two separate tools are available:

Lizard helps you to determine the computational performance and efficiency that can be achieved by your HPC Pack 2008-based / Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. It calculates and reports a peak performance value for your HPC cluster in billions of floating-point operations per second (GFLOPS), and a percentage value for the efficiency that was achieved at peak performance.

After running Lizard, you can review the performance and efficiency results that were obtained, and optionally save these results and the parameters that were used to achieve them to a file on your computer.

ClusterCopy helps you easily distribute files around your cluster. Simply put your data files on a single file share, use the ClusterCopy tool, and a series of jobs will be created to rapidly copy the files throughout the cluster, using a tree-based copy system.Pack contains 1 tool.
