| Abstract | Simulations have become ubiquitous in many domains of science. Today scientists study natural phenomena by first building massive three-dimensional spatial models and then by simulating the models at discrete intervals of time to mimic the behavior of natural phenomena. One frequently occurring challenge during simulations is the repeated computation of spatial self-joins of the model at each simulation time step. The join is performed to access a group of neighboring spatial objects (groups of particles, molecules or cosmological objects) so that scientists can calculate the cumulative effect (like gravitational force) on an object. Computing a self-join even in memory, soon becomes a performance bottleneck in simulation applications. The problem becomes even worse as scientists continue to improve the precision of simulations by increasing the number as well as the size (3D extent) of the objects. This leads to an exponential increase in join selectivity that challenges the performance and scalability of state-of-the-art approaches. We propose THERMAL-JOIN, a novel spatial self-join algorithm for dynamic memory-resident workloads. The algorithm groups objects in spatial proximity together into hot spots. Hot spots minimize the cost of computing join as objects assigned to a hot spot are guaranteed to overlap with each other. Using a nested spatial grid, THERMAL-JOIN partitions and indexes the dataset to locate hot spots. With experiments we show that our approach provides a speedup between 8 to 12x compared to the state of the art and also scales as scientists improve the precision of their simulations. |

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.
