Sure, I’ll comment 🙂 I will recommend you use SUA / Interix over some of the alternatives because it is faster; faster for reading, faster for writing, way faster for fork()s and exec()s. I will also recommend that you use the new libm (math library) we have available because it has sigificant performance improvements (especially for 64-bit) and many new math API’s currently found on other Unix-like systems. If you are using the ‘gcc’ compiler be sure to use the ‘-O2’ or ‘-O3’ option. You may be insterested in knowing that the Sun / Solaris Grid Engine project has a build available for Subsystem for Unix-based Applications (SUA). There are quite a few members of SUA Community who do HPC or related work. A few have worked at getting newer versions of ‘gcc’ ported to support HPC work. Search the forums for more information on this.
