| Abstract | The IOMMU allows the OS to encapsulate I/O devices in their own virtual memory spaces, thus restricting their DMAs to specific memory pages. The OS uses the IOMMU to protect itself against buggy drivers and malicious/errant devices. But the added protection comes at a cost, degrading the throughput of I/O-intensive workloads by up to an order of magnitude. This cost has motivated system designers to trade off some safety for performance, e.g., by leaving stale information in the IOTLB for a while so as to amortize costly invalidations. We observe that high-bandwidth devices---like network and PCIe SSD controllers---interact with the OS via circular ring buffers that induce a sequential, predictable workload. We design a ring IOMMU (rIOMMU) that leverages this characteristic by replacing the virtual memory page table hierarchy with a circular, flat table. A flat table is adequately supported by exactly one IOTLB entry, making every new translation an implicit invalidation of the former and thus requiring explicit invalidations only at the end of I/O bursts. Using standard networking benchmarks, we show that rIOMMU provides up to 7.56x higher throughput relative to the baseline IOMMU, and that it is within 0.77--1.00x the throughput of a system without IOMMU protection. |

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.
