| Abstract | This paper presents the first analysis of operating system execution on a simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processor. While SMT has been studied extensively over the past 6 years, previous research has focused entirely on user-mode execution. However, many of the applications most amenable to multithreading technologies spend a significant fraction of their time in kernel code. A full understanding of the behavior of such workloads therefore requires execution and measurement of the operating system, as well as the application itself.To carry out this study, we (1) modified the Digital Unix 4.0d operating system to run on an SMT CPU, and (2) integrated our SMT Alpha instruction set simulator into the SimOS simulator to provide an execution environment. For an OS-intensive workload, we ran the multithreaded Apache Web server on an 8-context SMT. We compared Apache's user- and kernel-mode behavior to a standard multiprogrammed SPECInt workload, and compared the SMT processor to an out-of-order superscalar running both workloads. Overall, our results demonstrate the micro-architectural impact of an OS-intensive workload on an SMT processor and provide insight into the OS demands of the Apache Web server. The synergy between the SMT processor and Web and OS software produced a greater throughput gain over superscalar execution than seen on any previously examined workloads, including commercial databases and explicitly parallel programs. |

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.
