June 2008 Microsoft featured the Group’s integration of Windows software in a Case Study in June of 2008. High-performance computing clusters running Windows Compute Cluster Server are used to run the lab’s molecular dynamics software with better performance than the optimized Linux version, and Microsoft SQL Server powers the 14-terabyte Dynameomics Database. The group’s application of Microsoft’s…
