Cloud object storage is enabled for archived data, such as checkpoints and results, of high performance computing applications using a middleware process. A plurality of archived files, such as checkpoint files and results, generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system are stored by obtaining the plurality of archived files from the parallel computing system; converting the plurality of archived files to objects using a log structured file system middleware process; and providing the objects for storage in a cloud object storage system. The plurality of processes may run, for example, on a plurality of compute nodes. The log structured file system middleware process may be embodied, for example, as a Parallel Log-Structured File System (PLFS). The log structured file system middleware process optionally executes on a burst buffer node.
A method for storing a plurality of archived files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, comprising the steps of:
An apparatus for storing a plurality of archived files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, comprising:
A data storage system for storing a plurality of archived files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, comprising:
