Abstract | The emergence of accelerator technology in current supercomputing systems is changing the landscape of supercom-puting architectures. Accelerators like GPGPUs and coprocessors are optimized for parallel computation while being more energy efficient. Their computational power per watt plays a crucial role in developing exaflop systems. Today's accelerators come with some limitations. They require a local host to configure and operate them. In addition, the number of host CPUs and accelerators does not scale independently. Another problem is the unbalanced communication between distributed accelerators. New communication frameworks are developed to optimize the internode communication. In this paper, four communication models using the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor technology are compared. The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is based on the Intel Many Integrated Cores technology. It is an attractive accelerator due to its embedded Linux operating system, up to 1 TFLOPS of performance on a single chip, and its x86 64 compatibility. DCFA-MPI, MVAPICH2-MIC, and HAM-Offload are compared against the communication architecture for network-attached accelerators (NAA). Each communication model optimizes a different layer of the MIC communication architecture. The NAA approach makes the accelerator device independent from a local host system. Furthermore, it enables the accelerator to source and sink network traffic. Workloads can be dynamically assigned during run-time in an N to M ratio between CPUs and accelerators. The latency, bandwidth, and performance of the MPI communication layer of a prototype implementation are evaluated. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
