Abstract
A high performance computing (HPC) system has an architecture that separates data paths used by compute nodes exchanging computational data from the data paths used by compute nodes to obtain computational work units and save completed computations. The system enables an improved method of saving checkpoint data, and an improved method of using an analysis of the saved data to assign particular computational work units to particular compute nodes. The system includes a compute fabric and compute nodes that cooperatively perform a computation by mutual communication using the compute fabric. The system also includes a local data fabric that is coupled to the compute nodes, a memory, and a data node. The data node is configured to retrieve data for the computation from an external bulk data storage, and to store its work units in the memory for access by the compute nodes.
