  3. Microsoft Interaction with OGF • Decision made to engage in HPC market • Probably 2004 • Engagement with OGF by HPC Group • Late 2005/Early 2006 • Microsoft Compute Cluster Server 2003 v1 • Launched June 2006 • Microsoft HPC Server 2008 • Will be launched Summer 2008 • Will include implementation of HPC Basic Profile 1.0

  5. Implementing the HPC Basic Profile • From 1st draft to Proposed Recommendation • Duration ~2 years • HPCBP was only ~15 months • Develop prototype alongside specification • Essential to make a good specification • Do some interop to validate specification (SC06) • Build experience on P-REC • Duration: minimum 6 months in OGF • Do more interop (SC07) to write experience document

  6. Time & Money • Prototyping • Time: ~0.25 FTE for 18 months • Money: Travel (Meetings, F2F, …) & Telecoms • Experience Document • Time: ~0.25 FTE for 6 months • Money: Server for interop & Telecoms • Into Product • Time: ~0.5 FTE for 6 months

  7. HPC BP into Product • There are still decisions to be made • Username & password • X.509 certificates • Operational and Support model • Development, Testing, Documentation & Training • Partners, Marketing & Adoption • Does solution still meet use cases? • Continuous focus, but part of critical review

  8. HPC Basic Profile 1.0 • Shipped with Windows HPC Server 2008 • Available Summer 2008, beta available NOW! • Uses Windows Communication Foundation • Supporting: • HPC Basic Profile 1.0 • HPC File Staging Profile 1.0 • JSDL 1.0 • HPC Profile Application 1.0 • Basic Execution Service 1.0

  9. Summary • Standards can be vital part of a product • Time to develop standards is not short – 2+ yrs • Product cycle 18-24 months • Big difference between prototype and product • Interop needs to be continuous, but critical points • Two main decision points: • Drive, Influence, Monitor or Ignore • Implement in product
