Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. The main examples, code snippets, and step-by-step instructions exclusively use Windows compute nodes, MS-MPI, and Windows-centric tools (cmd.exe, Visual Studio, .NET, etc.). Linux alternatives (Intel MPI, Python) are mentioned only in passing, with no equivalent code samples, setup instructions, or walkthroughs. The page assumes a Windows development environment and workflow, and Linux-specific guidance is relegated to brief notes or external links.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux-focused examples for each major section, including pool creation, MPI installation (using Intel MPI), and multi-instance task setup using Bash or Python.
  • Include code snippets for Linux environments (e.g., Bash scripts for installing Intel MPI, running mpiexec, and configuring coordination/application commands).
  • Offer step-by-step instructions for building and deploying MPI applications on Linux nodes, including compiling with gcc/mpicc and packaging for Azure Batch.
  • Reference Linux development tools (e.g., VS Code, gcc, mpicc) alongside Windows tools like Visual Studio.
  • Ensure that sample applications and walkthroughs are available for both Windows (MS-MPI) and Linux (Intel MPI/Python), with links to relevant GitHub repositories.
  • Reorder or balance the documentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are presented with equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
