Cloud object storage is enabled for checkpoints of high performance computing applications using a middleware process. A plurality of files, such as checkpoint files, generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system are stored by obtaining said plurality of files from said parallel computing system; converting said plurality of files to objects using a log structured file system middleware process; and providing said 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 files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, comprising the steps of:
A tangible machine-readable recordable storage medium for storing a plurality of files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, wherein one or more software programs when executed by one or more processing devices implement the following steps:
An apparatus for storing a plurality of files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, comprising:
A data storage system for storing a plurality of files generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system, comprising:
