| Abstract | While developing shared-memory programs, programmers often contend with the problem of how many threads to create for best efficiency. Creating as many threads as the number of available processor cores, or more, may not be the most efficient configuration. Too many threads can result in excessive contention for shared resources, wasting energy, which is of primary concern for embedded devices. Furthermore, thermal and power constraints prevent us from operating all the processor cores at the highest possible frequency, favoring fewer threads. The best number of threads to run depends on the application, user input and hardware resources available. It can also change at runtime making it infeasible for the programmer to determine this number. To address this problem, we propose LIMO, a runtime system that dynamically manages the number of running threads of an application for maximizing peformance and energy-efficiency. LIMO monitors threads' progress along with the usage of shared hardware resources to determine the best number of threads to run and the voltage and frequency level. With dynamic adaptation, LIMO provides an average of 21% performance improvement and a 2x improvement in energy-efficiency on a 32-core system over the default configuration of 32 threads for a set of concurrent applications from the PARSEC suite, the Apache web server, and the Sphinx speech recognition system. |

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.
