I am using the Google Compute Engine to distribute simulation workload over multiple instances (machines) - all coded in C++ and using OpenMPI to parallelize calculations. Each 'remote' instance generates considerable data output that I now gather via MPI to the 'central' instance.

An alternative would be to directly store the data on a central location, e.g. Google Cloud Storage (GCS) from each instance, which would then need to handle considerable I/O. Yet I cannot find how to directly address the GCS buckets from within C++ (boost::filesystem) without using Google's gsutil. Hence the questions:

Is it possible to directly address Google's Cloud Storage buckets without using the gsutil and if so, how.

You can use google-api-cpp-client to access all of Google APIs, including Google Cloud Storage API. That said, it would take some work to integrate it with boost::filesystem if that's your goal.
