EMC and Los Alamos National Security Assigned Patent

Cloud object store for archive storage of HPC data using decoupling middleware

EMC Corporation, Hopkinton, MA, and Los Alamos National Security, LLC, Los Alamos, NM has been assigned a patent (9,069,778) developed by Bent, John M., Los Alamos, NM, Faibish, Sorin, Newton, MA, and Grider, Gary, Los Alamos, NM, for a “cloud object store for archive storage of high performance computing data using decoupling middleware.”

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”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.

The patent application was filed on December 28, 2012 (13/730,097).
