Excelero’s HPC storage solution, NVMesh, enables supercomputing centers to build petabyte-scale burst buffers leveraging high-performance NVMe drives with high performance cloud storage

2. NVMesh software provides
an extremely cost effective
method to achieve unheard
of burst buffer bandwidth to
compute nodes and sharing
the storage across the
existing low latency network
fabric.

3. NVMesh provides
redundancy without
impacting target
CPUs.

4. Therefore, there is no need
for additional dedicated
hardware or proprietary file
system integrations since
NVMesh storage is
provisioned as a simple
block device.

5. Excelero’s HPC storage
solution, NVMesh, enables
supercomputing centers to
build petabyte-scale burst
buffers leveraging high-
performance NVMe drives
with high performance cloud
storage

6. NVMesh Supports
large-scale modeling,
simulation, analysis
and visualization

7. High-performance computing
applications consist of complex sets
of processes that sometimes run for
weeks. When any of these processes
is interrupted, this could destroy the
results of the entire compute job.
This problem becomes worse as
supercomputers become more
powerful. Therefore, parallel
computing applications use the
concept of checkpoint-restart.

8. This technique allows
compute jobs to be
restarted from the most
recently saved checkpoint
in case of an interruption.
Checkpoints are typically
saved in a shared, parallel
file system.
