| Abstract | As the class of datacenters recently coined as warehouse scale computers (WSCs) continues to leverage commodity multicore processors with increasing core counts, there is a growing need to consolidate various workloads on these machines to fully utilize their computation power. However, it is well known that when multiple applications are co-located on a multicore machine, contention for shared memory resources can cause severe cross-core performance interference. To ensure that the quality of service (QoS) of user-facing applications does not suffer from performance interference, WSC operators resort to disallowing co-location of latency-sensitive applications with other applications. This policy translates to low machine utilization and millions of dollars wasted in WSCs. This paper presents QoS-Compile, the first compilation approach that statically manipulates application contentiousness to enable the co-location of applications with varying QoS requirements, and as a result, can greatly improve machine utilization. Our technique first pinpoints an application's code regions that tend to cause contention and performance interference. QoS-Compile then transforms those regions to reduce their contentious nature. In essence, to co-locate applications of different QoS priorities, our compilation technique uses pessimizing transformations to throttle down the memory access rate of the contentious regions in low priority applications to reduce their interference to high priority applications. Our evaluation using synthetic benchmarks, SPEC benchmarks and large-scale Google applications show that QoS-Compile can greatly reduce contention, improve QoS of applications, and improve machine utilization. Our experiments show that our technique improves applications' QoS performance by 21% and machine utilization by 36% on average. |

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.
