| Abstract | Heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) and OpenCL define scoped synchronization to facilitate low overhead communication across a subset of threads. Scoped synchronization works well for static sharing patterns, where consumer threads are known a priori. It works poorly for dynamic sharing patterns (e.g., work stealing) where programmers cannot use a faster small scope due to the rare possibility that the work is stolen by a thread in a distant slower scope. This puts programmers in a conundrum: optimize the common case by synchronizing at a faster small scope or use work stealing at a slower large scope. In this paper, we propose to extend scoped synchronization with remote-scope promotion. This allows the most frequent sharers to synchronize through a small scope. Infrequent sharers synchronize by promoting that remote small scope to a larger shared scope. Synchronization using remote-scope promotion provides performance robustness for dynamic workloads, where the benefits provided by scoped synchronization and work stealing are hard to anticipate. Compared to a naïve baseline, static scoped synchronization alone achieves a 1.07x speedup on average and dynamic work stealing alone achieves a 1.18x speedup on average. In contrast, synchronization using remote-scope promotion achieves a robust 1.25x speedup on average, across a diverse set of graph benchmarks and inputs. |

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.
