Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased toward Windows and MS-MPI. All code samples, configuration snippets, and walkthroughs use Windows-specific tools (cmd, MS-MPI, .exe files), and the examples exclusively target Windows compute nodes. Linux and Intel MPI are mentioned only in passing, with no concrete examples, code snippets, or setup instructions for Linux users. The sample application and instructions require Visual Studio and Windows binaries, making it difficult for Linux/macOS users to follow along or replicate the workflow.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent code samples and walkthroughs for Linux compute nodes using Intel MPI and Bash commands.
  • Provide instructions for installing Intel MPI on Linux nodes via StartTask, including sample shell scripts.
  • Include a Linux-based sample MPI application (e.g., written in C/C++ or Python) and show how to package and deploy it.
  • Demonstrate how to configure pools with Linux VM images and node agent SKUs.
  • Offer guidance for users developing on macOS or Linux, including alternative IDEs and build instructions.
  • Present Linux examples before or alongside Windows examples to avoid 'Windows-first' bias.
