| Abstract | We present a new optimization DECAF that optimizes recursive task parallel (RTP) programs by reducing the task creation and termination overheads. DECAF reduces the task termination (join) operations by aggressively increasing the scope of join operations (in a semantics preserving way), and eliminating the redundant join operations discovered on the way. Further, DECAF extends the traditional loop chunking technique to perform load-balanced chunking, at runtime, based on the number of available worker threads. This helps reduce the redundant parallel tasks at different levels of recursion. We also discuss the impact of exceptions on our techniques and extend them to handle RTP programs that may throw exceptions. We implemented DECAF in the X10v2.3 compiler and tested it over a set of benchmark kernels on two different hardwares (a 16-core Intel system and a 64-core AMD system). With respect to the base X10 compiler extended with loop-chunking of Nandivada et al. [26] (LC), DECAF achieved a geometric mean speed up of 2.14× and 2.53× on the Intel and AMD system, respectively. We also present an evaluation with respect to the energy consumption on the Intel system and show that on average, compared to the LC versions, the DECAF versions consume 71.2% less energy. |

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.
