| Abstract | Memory management units that use low-level AXI descriptor chains to hold irregular graph-oriented access sequences can help improve DRAM memory throughput of graph algorithms by almost an order of magnitude. For the Xilinx Zed board, we explore and compare the memory throughputs achievable when using (1) cache-enabled CPUs with an OS, (2) cache-enabled CPUs running bare metal code, (2) CPU-based control of FPGA-based AXI DMAs, and finally (3) local FPGA-based control of AXI DMA transfers. For short-burst irregular traffic generated from sparse graph access patterns, we observe a performance penalty of almost 10× due to DRAM row activations when compared to cache-friendly sequential access. When using an AXI DMA engine configured in FPGA logic and programmed in AXI register mode from the CPU, we can improve DRAM performance by as much as 2.4× over naïve random access on the CPU. In this mode, we use the host CPU to trigger DMA transfer by writing appropriate control information in the internal register of the DMA engine. We also encode the sparse graph access patterns as locally-stored BRAM-hosted AXI descriptor chains to drive the AXI DMA engines with minimal CPU involvement under Scatter Gather mode. In this configuration, we deliver an additional 3× speedup, for a cumulative throughput improvement of 7× over a CPU-based approach using caches while running an OS to manage irregular access. |

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.
