Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code samples, configuration snippets, and step-by-step instructions use Windows-specific tools, commands, and MS-MPI. The primary examples are in C# using Batch .NET and focus on Windows Server pools, MS-MPI installation, and Windows command lines (cmd, .exe files). Linux and Intel MPI are mentioned only in passing, with no concrete code samples, setup instructions, or walkthroughs for Linux environments. The code sample and walkthrough require Visual Studio and Windows tools, with no equivalent Linux instructions or parity.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel Linux-focused code samples (e.g., Python, Bash) using Intel MPI and Linux pools.
  • Provide step-by-step instructions for creating and configuring Linux pools, including installation of Intel MPI via StartTask.
  • Include Linux shell command examples for coordination and application commands (e.g., using mpiexec, smpd, etc. on Linux).
  • Offer a Linux-based walkthrough and code sample, with instructions for building and running MPI applications on Linux nodes.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., gcc, make, Python) and editors (e.g., VS Code, Vim) alongside Windows/Visual Studio.
  • Ensure that all major concepts (pool creation, resource files, environment variables, subtask management) have Linux-specific examples and explanations.
