| Abstract | A dynamic binary translation system for a co-designed virtual machine is described and evaluated. The underlying hardware directly executes an accumulator-oriented instruction set that exposes instruction dependence chains (strands) to a distributed microarchitecture containing a simple instruction pipeline. To support conventional program binaries, a source instruction set (Alpha in our study) is dynamically translated to the target accumulator instruction set. The binary translator identifies chains of inter-instruction dependences and assigns them to dependence-carrying accumulators. Because the underlying superscalar microarchitecture is capable of dynamic instruction scheduling, the binary translation system does not perform aggressive optimizations or re-schedule code; this significantly reduces binary translation overhead.Detailed timing simulation of the dynamically translated code running on an accumulator-based distributed microarchitecture shows the overall system is capable of achieving similar performance to an ideal out-of-order superscalar processor, ignoring the significant clock frequency advantages that the accumulator-based hardware is likely to have. As part of the study, we evaluate an instruction set modification that simplifies precise trap implementation. This approach significantly reduces the number of instructions required for register state copying, thereby improving performance. We also observe that translation chaining methods can have substantial impact on the performance, and we evaluate a number of chaining methods. |

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.
