Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code samples, setup instructions, and tooling references are focused on Windows environments, specifically using MS-MPI, Batch .NET, and Visual Studio. Windows-specific commands (cmd, .exe files) and resource files are used throughout, with no equivalent Linux code samples or step-by-step instructions. Linux and Intel MPI are mentioned only in passing, and Linux-specific guidance is relegated to notes or external links.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel Linux-focused code samples using Python or Bash, demonstrating Intel MPI setup and execution.
  • Include explicit instructions for creating pools with Linux VM images, including sample configuration code.
  • Provide StartTask examples for installing Intel MPI on Linux nodes, using shell commands and package managers.
  • Show application and coordination command lines for Linux (e.g., using mpiexec, referencing shell scripts, using $AZ_BATCH_TASK_SHARED_DIR).
  • Offer a Linux-based walkthrough, including building and packaging an MPI application (e.g., with gcc and mpicc), uploading resources, and running tasks.
  • Reference Linux development tools (e.g., VS Code, gcc, Python) alongside Visual Studio.
  • Ensure that both Windows and Linux scenarios are presented side-by-side or in separate sections for parity.
