| Abstract | A shared-memory multiprocessor having clusters of processing elements and memory modules is considered. Each cluster has two others as its neighbors. The clusters are interconnected in such a way that the memory modules of a cluster can also be accessed by the processors of the neighboring clusters besides its own processors through its cluster interconnection network. The processors and memories of all clusters are also connected to a shared interconnection network. This permits processors to access memory modules of the non-neighboring clusters. Generalized multistage interconnection networks are used for both types of connections. The time required to access memory modules is reduced by scheduling tasks sharing large data with each other on neighboring clusters or on the same cluster thereby providing for memory access a low latency path through the cluster interconnection network. The time to access memory modules of the non-neighboring clusters also reduces due to reduced contention and because of fewer requests going through the shared interconnection network. Since the memory modules of a cluster are the main memory modules, an additional level of cluster memory is not required. This alleviates the data coherence problem. A Markov chain model is used to study the performance of this multiprocessor under circuit switching. Considerable improvement in performance over a simple shared memory multiprocessor using multistage interconnection network is observed. The model is extended to study the effects of synchronized memory access to shared data. |

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.
