Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias: all code samples, walkthroughs, and tooling references are centered around Windows, MS-MPI, and Visual Studio. Linux alternatives (Intel MPI, Python) are mentioned only in passing, and no Linux-specific code samples or setup instructions are provided. The reader is guided through a complete Windows workflow, while Linux users are left to infer or seek external resources.
Recommendations
- Add parallel Linux-focused code samples using Intel MPI and Bash (or Python) for multi-instance tasks.
- Provide explicit instructions for creating pools with Linux VM images, including sample VirtualMachineConfiguration for Ubuntu or CentOS.
- Show how to install Intel MPI (or OpenMPI) on Linux nodes using a StartTask, with sample shell commands.
- Include Linux-specific coordination and application command examples (e.g., using mpiexec/mpirun in Bash).
- Reference Linux development tools (e.g., VS Code, gcc, Python) alongside Visual Studio.
- Reorder sections so Linux and Windows approaches are presented with equal prominence.
- Link to Linux sample repositories and provide step-by-step execution instructions for Linux users.
