| Abstract | In recent years, many Array DBMSs, including SciDB and RasDaMan have emerged to meet the needs of data management applications where the natural structures are the arrays. These systems, like their relational counterparts, involve an expensive data ingestion phase. The paradigm of using native storage as a DB and providing database-like support (e.g., the NoDB approach) has recently been shown to be an effective approach for dealing with infrequently queried data, where data ingestion costs cannot be justified, though only in context of relational data. Applications that generate massive arrays, such as the scientific simulations, often store the data in one of a small number of array storage formats, like NetCDF or HDF5. Thus, a natural question is, "can database-like functionality be supported over native array storage?". In this paper, we present algorithms, different partitioning strategies, and an analytical model for supporting structural (grid, sliding, hierarchical, and circular) aggregations over native array storage, and describe implementation of this approach in a system we refer to as Structural AGgregations over Array storage (SAGA). We show how the relative performance of different partitioning strategies changes with varying amount of computation in the aggregation function and different levels of data skew, and our model is effective in choosing the best partitioning strategy. Performance comparison with SciDB shows that despite working on native array storage, the aggregation costs with our system are lower. Finally, we also show that our structural aggregation implementations achieve high parallel efficiency. |

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.
