| Abstract | This paper presents the Iteration-Fusing Conjugate Gradient (IFCG) approach which is an evolution of the Conjugate Gradient method that consists in i) letting computations from different iterations to overlap between them and ii) splitting linear algebra kernels into subkernels to increase concurrency and relax data-dependencies. The paper presents two ways of applying the IFCG approach: The IFCG1 algorithm, which aims at hiding the cost of parallel reductions, and the IFCG2 algorithm, which aims at reducing idle time by starting computations as soon as possible. Both IFCG1 and IFCG2 algorithms are two complementary approaches aiming at increasing parallel performance. Extensive numerical experiments are conducted to compare the IFCG1 and IFCG2 numerical stability and performance against four state-of-the-art techniques. By considering a set of representative input matrices, the paper demonstrates that IFCG1 and IFCG2 provide parallel performance improvements up to 42.9% and 41.5% respectively and average improvements of 11.8% and 7.1% with respect to the best state-of-the-art techniques while keeping similar numerical stability properties. Also, this paper provides an evaluation of the IFCG algorithms' sensitivity to system noise and it demonstrates that they run 18.0% faster on average than the best state-of-the-art technique under realistic degrees of system noise. |

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.
