| Abstract | Today, multicore microprocessors are at the heart of systems ranging from laptops to supercomputers. The shift to multicore architectures has transformed the problem of improving program performance from a micro-architecture problem to a software problem, shifting the focus from instruction-level parallelism to thread-level parallelism. As the density of transistors on chips increases, technology roadmaps call for increasing the number of cores. A key challenge facing the community is how we will keep increasing numbers of cores busy with productive work. Of great interest are answers to the question, "Where will all the threads come from" This panel will explore several dimensions of the problem of developing applications that effectively use extensive thread-level parallelism. First, we will hear about an initiative that aims to exploit the growing number of cores by increasing the sophistication of applications that run on the desktop. Next, we will hear about experiences mapping applications to systems with large-scale multithreading using programming models that rely on implicit and/or explicit parallelism. Finally, we will hear about past and present work on languages and compiler technology for mapping programs onto parallel systems. An aim of the panel is to identify promising directions for the future and potential stumbling blocks. The panelists have a broad range of experience with parallel applications, programming models and languages, and compiler technology for mapping languages to parallel architectures. |

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.
