So far I've found very little information on the scheduling policy, resource management policy of Azure HPC Scheduler.

I would appreciate any kind of information regarding some of these questions:

* What scheduling policy does a Head Node use to scatter jobs to Compute Nodes?
* Does Azure Scheduler use prior information about the jobs (compute time, memory demands ...) ?
If 'yes', how it gets this information?
* Does Azure Scheduler split a job into several parallel jobs on one Compute node?
* Does it have any protection from Compute Node failures? (what it does when a compute node stops responding)
* Does it support addition/subtraction of Compute nodes?
* Is it possible to cancel a job?

P.S. I'm aware of the MSDN resource (Windows Azure HPC Scheduler).
I found only information of how to use this Scheduler but almost nothing about how it works inside.
