| Abstract | Simulations are among the most expensive of computational tasks. Consequently, different authors [PEAC79], [CHAN81], [JEFF82] have investigated methods for performing fast concurrent simulations on a network of processors. Basic issues are synchronization (events must be simulated in the order in which they are executed in the real system), flow control and memory management. There are two basic groups of synchronization algorithms, the blocking algorithms [PEAC79], [CHAN79], [CHAN81] and the Time Warp mechanism [JEFF82].In blocking algorithms, the simulated system is represented as a network of logical processes (LP's) or objects and directed links representing communication channels between the objects. Each LP simulates a physical process (PP) in the real system. LP's communicate by exchanging timestamped event messages. An LP is allowed to execute an event with the timestamp t if it is sure it will not receive an event with the timestamp smaller than t in the future. Thus, events are always executed in monotonically increasing time order. This implies that the output timestamps are in an increasing time order as well. Assuming that the communication medium preserves the order of messages, they arrive on a particular input link in an increasing time order. An input buffer is assigned to each input link. This mechanism implies that an LP can always execute the input event with the smallest timestamp if each of the input buffers contains at least one event message. In the event that one or more input queues are empty, the LP is blocked because an event with a timestamp smaller than the timestamps of the waiting events, might yet arrive via an empty input link. Therefore all LP's in the system can be divided at any time into two groups- blocked and unblocked. Only unblocked LP's can execute in parallel (Fig. 1). If all LP's were blocked the simulation would deadlock. This type of the deadlock may occur even when we assume unlimited buffering at the LP's. |

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.
