Dave Fotland, author of Many Faces of Go, would be your best authority. Windows HPC is an operating system / software package which runs on clustered hardware - in this case, the hardware used is the Cray CX1 - more info at http://www.cray.com/products/CX1.aspx
Microsoft might be your best source for information regarding purchase of Windows HPC.

I didn't attend to Microsoft PDC event last week. Yesterday, I watched part of the session about Windows High Performance Computing: HPC Session at last PDC http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/ES13/ The presenter talks about a booth in the expo with computer go program. The slide says: "WHPC/Surface/Many Faces of Go - Surface for natural game play - Uses WHPC and MPI for internode communication: 4k games/sec/core - Won world championships at ICGA last month! - 32 core cluster - MFOG will be available for free with Windows HPC from Smart-games.com Available at the Parallel Computing Booth - Go Play against Many Faces and MOGO on Cray CX1! " (Surface is a multitouch device by Microsoft) Any information about that demo? It's not clear to me: - The tech used in 32 core cluster , was Windows HPC? or another? - The demo at the booth, used Cray vs Windows HPC? - I can't find info about "MFOG in HPC" at http://www.smart-games.com I want to run a computer go program under Windows HPC, as a proof of concept. Any link, resource, welcome! I published a blog post with HPC related resources http://ajlopez.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/windows-high-performance-computing-hpc-and-programming-resources/ Angel "Java" Lopez http://ajlopez.wordpress.com/ http://www.ajlopez.com/en
