| Abstract | Very large block-level data backup systems need scalable data deduplication and garbage collection techniques to make efficient use of the storage space and to minimize the performance overhead of doing so. Although the deduplication and garbage collection logic is conceptually straight-forward, their implementations pose a significant technical challenge because only a small portion of their associated data structures could fit into memory. In this paper, we describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a data deduplication and garbage collection engine called Sungem that is designed to remove duplicate blocks in incremental data backup streams. Sungem features three novel techniques to maximize the deduplication throughput without compromising the deduplication ratio. First, Sungem puts related fingerprint sequences, rather than fingerprints from the same backup stream, into the same container in order to increase the fingerprint prefetching efficiency. Second, to make the most of the memory space reserved for storing fingerprints, Sungem varies the sampling rates for fingerprint sequences based on their stability. Third, Sungem combines reference count and expiration time in a unique way to arrive at the first known incremental garbage collection algorithm whose bookkeeping overhead is proportional to the size of a disk volume's incremental backup snapshot rather than its full backup snapshot. We evaluated the Sungem prototype using a real-world data backup trace, and showed that the average throughput of Sungem is more than 200,000 fingerprint lookups per second on a standard X86 server, including the garbage collection cost. |

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.
