BeeOND is designed to integrate with cluster batch systems to create temporary parallel file system instances on a per-job basis on the internal SSDs / NVMe of compute nodes, which are part of a compute job.
With BeeOND:
Efficient Instance Creation: It swiftly creates BeeGFS instances for diverse applications.
Enhanced Performance: Boosts job performance by using internal storage.
Compatibility and Transfer: Works with any cluster file system for smooth data transfer.
Seamless Integration: Integrates easily with workload managers like Torque and Slurm.
Use cases:
Cloud computing, test systems, cluster compute nodes, ….
Such BeeOND instances do not only provide a very fast and easy to use temporary buffer but can also keep a lot of I/O load for temporary or random-access files away from the global cluster storage. Increasing the proficiency of the client nodes by adding such functionality will speed up critical projects enormously.
