| Abstract | We report on early programming experiences with the Intel® Many Integrated Core (Intel® MIC) Co-processor. This new and x86 based technology is Intel's answer to GPU-based accelerators by NVIDIA, AMD and others. Accelerators have generally sparked interest in the HPC community because they have the potential to significantly increase the compute power of the next generation of supercomputers. The merits of accelerators for general HPC purposes are still very much under debate. Undoubtedly accelerators add more complexity to an already very complex cluster, and the programmability of accelerators will be the key to enticing the diverse HPC user community to this new technology, even if the performance promise may be large. The study presented here is part of a much broader activity at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) that focuses on a wide range of accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, Intel MIC coprocessor, etc.). The Intel MIC architecture is x86 based and supports languages and parallel programming paradigms commonly found on x86 CPUs, including OpenMP which has been widely accepted in the HPC community for thread-parallel programming. The scope of this initial study is limited to the investigation of the Intel MIC programming environment and particularly to the offload-OpenMP model. Our initial experience with the Intel MIC platform has been very positive. The required code modifications to handle the data transfer and the offloading of parallel sections onto the Intel MIC co-processor are small and conveniently implemented as directives/pragmas to OpenMP constructs. (We use "accelerators" as a generic reference to Intel MIC Co-processors, GPUs, FPGAs, etc.). |

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.
