Windows HPC Server 2008, 于2008年9月22日由Microsoft公司发行, 是 Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003的后续版本. 就像 WCCS 一样, Windows HPC Server 2008 是设计于需要高性能计算集群的高端应用.[1] 此服务器软件声称能有效扩展到数以千计的内核。针对于超算机的工作负荷，它存在很多的特点：比如高速的NetworkDirect RDMA接口，高效率且具有可扩展性的群集管理工具（Cluster Management Tools），针对面向服务的体系结构的作业计划工具（SOA Job Scheduler），以及基于开源接口MPICH2的消息传递接口[2]，和通过“超算基础配置文件（High Performance Computing Basic Profile，HPCBP）”这个基于开放网格计算论坛（Open Grid Forum，OGF）标准特性来实现集群互通性[3]。
In June 2008, a system built collaboratively with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and Microsoft ranked #23 on the Top500 list, a ranking of the world's fastest supercomputers, with a LINPACK score of 68.5 teraflops. The NCSA supercomputer uses both Windows Server HPC and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.[4] As of November 2011, that ranking has since dropped to #253.[5]
In the November 2008 rankings published by Top500, a Windows HPC system built by the Shanghai Supercomputer Center achieved a peak performance of 180.6 teraflops and was ranked #11 on the list.[6] As of November 2011, Windows HPC has about 0.2% (1 out of 500) of the market of the 500 most powerful supercomputers, with about 0.2% of total gigaflops, with Linux dominating the rankings with 91.4% and Unix second place with 6%.[7] The other two systems in the top 100 that can run Windows HPC do so only part of the time.[8][9]
Windows HPC Server 2008 R2
Windows HPC Server 2008 R2是基于Windows Server 2008 R2的操作系统，于2010年9月20日发布[10] 。
Windows HPC Pack
在Windows HPC Server 2008 R2之后，微软发布了HPC Pack以针对四种用途：普遍（Express）、企业（Enterprise）、工作站（Workstation）和计算时间获取（Cycle Harvesting）。之后的HPC Pack 2012的发布本身就包含了这四种能力导致需求被简化了。HPC Pack 2012可以被安装在任何基于Windows Server 2012标准版（Standard）和数据中心版（Datacenter）的计算机上。[11]
