| Abstract | Several researchers have worked on parallel coset enumeration strategies using shared memory. This is important not only for speed, but also because the large memory requirements of coset enumeration often make memory the dominant cost, and this cost can be reduced by using many CPU's to reduce the time during which this memory must be “rented”. We take as our testbed an enumeration of Lyons's group (approximately 8.87 million cosets). Lyons's group is one of the largest enumerations carried out in the literature. Previous enumerations of this group in the literature do not appear to scale well as the number of processors increase, with speedups such as a factor of 2 using 4 processors and a speedup of 4 using 16 processors. By using what we call bulk definition of cosets, we achieve nearly linear speedup of the parallel portion of our program. This result depends on two new heuristics for bulk coset definition, clouds and prescan, and a theorem showing that when using parallelized bulk coset definition, the enumeration, including the order in which cosets are defined, is independent of the number of processors used for parallelization. A total computation of 9.4 hours = 473 min. (clouds phase) + 41 min. (prescan phase) is reduced using 32 processors to 23 min. (clouds, par.) + 50 min. (clouds, seq.) + 41 min. (prescan). Parallel timings are presented for the clouds phase, while the prescan phase will be parallelized at a later date. The parallelization of our coset enumeration software was achieved using TOP-C. Some of these ideas may also be useful in parallelizations of related algorithms, such as Gröbner bases and Knuth-Bendix. |

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.
