  • Offloading UDF’s to a Windows HPC Cluster

    Thanks to Gabhan Berry for putting together this series on high performance computing. In my previous post I discussed how we have enabled workbooks to be calculated on a Windows HPC cluster. In this post, I’ll describe the other piece of HPC integration we have developed in Excel 2010: offloading the calculation of UDFs to a Windows HPC cluster. Overview User defined functions are one of the most popular pieces of Excel extensibility. UDFs enable customers to create their own worksheet functions...
  • Calculating Excel Models on an HPC Cluster

    Thanks to Gabhan Berry for putting together this series on high performance computing. In a previous post , I introduced the work we have done with the Windows HPC team to enable customers to calculate Excel models on a Windows HPC cluster. In this follow up post, I go a little deeper into how we can harness the utility and power of Excel 2010 and Windows HPC to solve complex modeling problems. Modeling Complex Systems using Excel 2010 and Windows HPC Mathematically modeling complex problems is far...
  • Excel 2010 and High Performance Computing

    Thanks to Gabhan Berry for putting together this series on high performance computing. In this post, I introduce the work we’ve done with the Windows HPC team to integrate Excel 2010 with cluster computing. This is a high level overview and I’ll follow up with the technical details in later posts. High Level Overview of Excel 2010 and Cluster Computing High Performance Computing (HPC) is a branch of technical computing that uses supercomputers and cluster computing to solve computationally intensive...
