| Abstract | A growing number of on-line merchants, wireless phone operators, internet search companies and companies mining credit card transactions to discover customer buying pattern insights have reached the multi-Petabyte scale of data in their operations. It has been recently estimated that all credit card transaction information for all card holders in North America for a ten year period amounts to slightly less than 200 Terabytes, and many Internet businesses have amassed Petabytes of clickstreams. All of these companies are pushing the limits of relational database technology to perform "business intelligence" analysis of the hundreds of billions of records created by their business processes to better understand their customers and gain business advantage. A further challenge to this analysis is the need to perform very complex ad hoc queries, often in the span of hours in the case of fraud detection, on multi-terabyte fact files without the ability to perform the indexing and normalization of data needed to speed up relational data bases used in on-line transaction processing.This presentation will explain the work at Netezza Corporation developing massively parallel systems; purpose built for tera-scale database analysis that can deliver dramatically higher rates of I/O bandwidth to a single table--arguably the single most important metric in data warehouses--than large SMP or cluster of SMP systems. In a nutshell, Netezza is developing systems with a high degree of processor and storage integration that is reminiscent of an active disk approach to bringing processing power as physically close as possible to where the database tables reside. This is a significant departure from the current orthodoxy of large scale systems built with highly virtualized network connected storage. Additional performance gains are achieved by performing many of the key algebraic set operations of the relational database, such as the projection of columns and restriction of rows, in FPGA hardware as the data records stream off the disk drives. Next, the important role of the database optimizer and planner in supporting effective parallelization of queries written in the declarative query language ANSI standard SQL will be outlined. Finally, a number of actual results, many showing a 10 to 50 times speedup over comparable systems, achieved in the customer deployment of systems will be demonstrated. |

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.
