Classic HPC Development using Visual C++

Install Visual Studio 2008 (full install), Windows PowerShell, Microsoft HPC Pack 2008 (client-side utilities), and SDK for Microsoft HPC Pack 2008. Note that unlike cluster nodes, a developer machine can be running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. In the 32-bit case, you build and test locally in 32-bit, then rebuild as 64-bit and deploy to cluster. ................
