| Abstract | Process technology improvements have historically allowed an effortless expansion of the capacity and capabilities of computers and the cloud with few changes to the underlying software or programming model. However, the end of Dennard Scaling means that performance and efficiency gains will rely on the customization of the hardware for each application. Yet customizing hardware for each application runs contrary to the trend to moving more and more applications to a common hardware infrastructure the Cloud. Microsofts Catapult project has brought the power and performance of FPGA-based reconfigurable computing to hyperscale datacenters, accelerating major production cloud applications such as Bing web search and Microsoft Azure, and enabling a new generation of machine learning and artificial intelligence applications. These diverse workloads are accelerated using the same underlying hardware by using highly programmable silicon. The presence of ubiquitous and programmable silicon in the datacenter enables a new era of hardware/software co-design across a wide variety of workloads, opening up affordable and efficient performance across an enormous set of workloads. Catapult is now deployed in nearly every new server across the more than a million machines that make up the Microsoft hyperscale cloud. In this talk, I will describe the next generation of the Catapult configurable cloud architecture, and the tools and techniques that have made Catapult successful to date. I will discuss areas where traditional hardware and software development flows fall short, the domains where this programmable hardware holds the most potential, and how this technology can enable new computing frontiers. |

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.
