| Abstract | In recent years, there has been growing interest in both industry and academia in augmenting mobile web browsing with support from the cloud [4, 1, 3, 16, 18]). These efforts are motivated by the goals of lowering costs of data transfer, and reducing web latencies and device energy consumption. While these efforts have adopted different approaches to cloud-based browsing, there isn't a systematic understanding of the rich design space due to the proprietary nature of many of the solutions. In this paper, we take a step towards obtaining a better understanding by evaluating an extreme point in the design space that involves cloud support for most browsing functionality including execution of JavaScript (JS), and for compaction of data (e.g., image transcoding and compression). Our study is conducted in the context of Cloud Browser (CB), a popular commercially available browser that embodies this design point. Our results indicate that CB does not provide clear benefits over Direct (a device-based browser) either in energy or download time. For e.g. while CB decreases the download time compared to Direct for 38.87% of pages, it increases it by as much as 29.8s for other pages. Similarly while CB decreases the total energy by up to 20.77J compared to Direct for 52.7% of the pages, it increases it by up to 21.31J for other pages. Interestingly, even though CB does JS execution in the cloud, it increases the CPU and network energy for close to 50% of the pages. Overall our study indicates that cloud-based browsing is not always a win, and there are important trade-offs that must be carefully considered when moving functionality to the cloud. |

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.
