| Abstract | Performance isolation is emerging as a requirement for High Performance Computing (HPC) applications, particularly as HPC architectures turn to in situ data processing and application composition techniques to increase system throughput. These approaches require the co-location of disparate workloads on the same compute node, each with different resource and runtime requirements. In this paper we claim that these workloads cannot be effectively managed by a single Operating System/Runtime (OS/R). Therefore, we present Pisces, a system software architecture that enables the co-existence of multiple independent and fully isolated OS/Rs, or enclaves, that can be customized to address the disparate requirements of next generation HPC workloads. Each enclave consists of a specialized lightweight OS co-kernel and runtime, which is capable of independently managing partitions of dynamically assigned hardware resources. Contrary to other co-kernel approaches, in this work we consider performance isolation to be a primary requirement and present a novel co-kernel architecture to achieve this goal. We further present a set of design requirements necessary to ensure performance isolation, including: (1) elimination of cross OS dependencies, (2) internalized management of I/O, (3) limiting cross enclave communication to explicit shared memory channels, and (4) using virtualization techniques to provide missing OS features. The implementation of the Pisces co-kernel architecture is based on the Kitten Lightweight Kernel and Palacios Virtual Machine Monitor, two system software architectures designed specifically for HPC systems. Finally we will show that lightweight isolated co-kernels can provide better performance for HPC applications, and that isolated virtual machines are even capable of outperforming native environments in the presence of competing workloads. |

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.
