| Abstract | The ability to process, visualise, and work with large volumes of data in a way that is fast, meaningful, and accurate is an essential part of many fields of scientific research today. The success of video game industry has resulted in ongoing developments in the complexity of Graphical Processing Units (GPU), as well as rapidly falling cost per core. Their characteristics make them excellently suited to any task exhibiting a high level of data parallelism. Recent development of GPU architectures is aimed at HPC systems and applications. In this paper we are presenting our experience in designing and deploying a small dedicated GPU based cluster for processing and visualising data generated by engineering and scientific application. This GPU cluster is helping our researchers to analyse complex data using visualisation, and to accelerate large data processing. We have shown that our GPU cluster solution can achieve five to ten times speed up compared to the CPU system. As a result of our work we can demonstrate that even a small GPU cluster can benefit Higher Education institutions. |

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.
