General Reference for Excel Services and Excel 2007 Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Job Submission Developer Guide

  • Article

The General Reference section of the Excel Services and Excel 2007 Windows Compute Cluster Server (CCS) 2003 Job Submission Sample Developer Guide provides topics that demonstrate how you can increase the computational power and reliability of Microsoft Office Excel 2007 workbooks by using a high-performance computing (HPC) solution composed of Excel Services, Excel 2007, and Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. This developer guide is accompanied by a sample download.

The download contains the Windows CCS Job Submission sample for Excel Services and Excel 2007 and supporting files. The sample demonstrates how you can use a compute cluster to improve workbook performance when running a parametric sweep. The sample also shows how you can give users the ability to schedule or immediately submit Excel workbooks to a Windows CCS. Using this sample, you can offload large and long-running workbook calculations to a compute cluster, taking advantage of the parallel computing and high availability of a CCS to deliver results faster and more reliably than calculating workbooks on a single desktop computer.
