Abstract | Modern computing has entered the era of Big Data. Analyzing data from Twitter, Google, Facebook, Wikipedia, or the Human Genome Project requires the development of scalable platforms that can quickly extract useful information from an ocean of records collected from customers, clinical trial participants, program execution logs, or the Internet. Most of the existing Big Data applications, including Hadoop, Giraph, Hive, Pig, Mahout, or Hyracks are written managed, object-oriented languages such as Java. While the use of such languages simplifies development tasks, the (memory and execution) inefficiencies inherent in these languages can have large impact on the application performance and scalability. When object-orientation meets Big Data, performance problems are significantly magnified, making data-intensive computing systems fail to scale to large datasets. I will talk about several projects we are currently working on to scale Big Data applications by reducing the cost of a managed runtime. Particularly, I will talk about Facade, a compiler and runtime system we have developed to transform a Big Data application into an almost object-bounded application which has been shown to be much more efficient and scale to much larger datasets. I will also briefly mention two other projects, one attempting to provide a memory-oblivious programming model for developers to allow them to write a program without worrying about how to create threads and use memory, and second aiming to trim a big dataset with probabilistic guarantees to facilitate debugging/testing of a Big Data application. . |

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.
