Abstract
Improved multi-tier storage techniques are provided for storing data, such as checkpoints or other bursty data, in parallel computing environments. A burst buffer appliance is provided for use in a first storage tier of a multi-tier storage system comprising at least the first storage tier and a second storage tier. The exemplary burst buffer appliance comprises a memory for storing data; and at least one processing device to transform at least a portion of the data for storage on the second storage tier based on one or more performance characteristics of the second storage tier. In at least one embodiment, the at least one processing device is further configured to perform at least one function on the at least the portion of the data on behalf of the second storage tier. The performance characteristics of the second storage tier comprise, for example, a stripe size and/or network topology information.
