| Abstract | In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of PStore, a no-overwrite storage framework for managing large volumes of array data generated by scientific simulations. PStore consists of two modules, a data ingestion module and a query processing module, that respectively address two of the key challenges in scientific simulation data management. The data ingestion module is geared toward handling the high volumes of simulation data generated at a very rapid rate, which often makes it impossible to offload the data onto storage devices; the module is responsible for selecting an appropriate compression scheme for the data at hand, chunking the data, and then compressing it before sending it to the storage nodes. On the other hand, the query processing module is in charge of efficiently executing different types of queries over the stored data; in this paper, we specifically focus on dicing (also called range) queries. PStore provides a suite of compression schemes that leverage, and in some cases extend, existing techniques to provide support for diverse scientific simulation data. To efficiently execute queries over such compressed data, PStore adopts and extends a two-level chunking scheme by incorporating the effect of compression, and hides expensive disk latencies for long running range queries by exploiting chunk prefetching. In addition, we also parallelize the query processing module to further speed up execution. We evaluate PStore on a 140 GB dataset obtained from real-world simulations using the regional climate model CWRF [5]. In this paper, we use both 3D and 4D datasets and demonstrate high performance through extensive experiments. |

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.
