| Abstract | The suitability of the next generation of high performance computing systems for petascale simulations will depend on a balance between various factors such as processor performance, memory performance, local and global network performance, and Input/Output (I/O) performance. As the supercomputing industry develops new technologies for these subsystems, achieving system balance becomes challenging. In this paper we evaluate the performance of newly introduced dual-core based SGI Altix 4700 systems (both Bandwidth and Density models) and we compare their performance with that of a single-core based SGI Altix 3700 Bx2 system. The SGI Altix 4700 Density system installed in October 2007 at NASA Ames Research Center is the largest 2048-processor single system image (SSI) system in the world. We used the High Performance Computing Challenge (HPCC) benchmark, NAS Parallel benchmarks (NPB) and five real-world applications, three from computational fluid dynamics, one from climate modeling and one from nanotechnology. Our study shows that the SGI Altix 4700 Bandwidth system performs slightly better and SGI Altix 4700 Density system performs slightly worse than the SGI Altix 3700 Bx2 up to 128 processors, while the performance of the systems is almost the same beyond 128 processors, when the communication time dominates the compute time. |

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.
