Claim:
1. An storage system for temporarily storing data from a high performance computing (HPC) system, comprising: a software client supported at a compute node of the HPC system, said software client configured to: an intermediate storage system having at least a first burst engine including: a server including an internal memory and controller, wherein said server is configured to: receive a notification from said software client at the HPC node, said notification including logical block addresses of the block level data stored in the dedicated non-volatile storage devices of the intermediate storage system; retrieve block level data from said storage devices and interpret said metadata; and replay said block level data to a primary storage system in accordance with said metadata, wherein said block level data is replayed during a compute phase of said compute node of the HPC at a second data transfer rate that is less than said first data transfer rate.
