Microsoft Technical Computing

// Microsoft Technical Computing (ISC Team)

Modeling the World.

The ISC team joined Microsoft in September 2009 when Microsoft acquired the assets of Interactive SuperComputing, a Waltham-based startup. ISC‘s original vision of enabling scientists and other domain specialists to seamlessly access the parallel computing power of HPC clusters fits right in with the goals of the Microsoft Technical Computing team. From our new home in the Microsoft New England Research & Development Center, we are busy adapting to Microsoft processes and technologies, addressing remediation items in converting the software from Linux to Windows, and adding functionality for the first Microsoft version of the Star-P product that will ship as an add-on to the HPC Server 2008 product. The Star-P product will allow domain specialists to utilize a very high level language (VHLL) to solve large scale modeling and computational problems on Windows HPC clusters without the need for the customer to write complex, error prone parallel programming logic.
