| Abstract | In computational astrophysics, the effect of gravity is essential even with very heavy computation of O(N/sup 2/) for N particles. Several special purpose machines have been implemented as gravity engine to handle this problem extremely fast, however there are few sites in the world to operate such systems. We have developed a grid environment to access such a system based on grid-RPC, named HMCS-G. Using HMCS-G, a multi-physical computational astrophysics simulation can be performed with the combination of a PC-cluster and the gravity engine GRAPE-6. In typical size of problems for galaxy formation, however, the computation power of PC-cluster is much weaker than that of GRAPE-6, and we need multiple sets of PC-clusters to share the power of GRAPE-6 on grid environment. We have developed such a system using OmniRPC, a grid-enabled RPC system. In this system, OmniRPC are used both to distribute jobs for parameter search on multiple PC-clusters and to access GRAPE-6 server from these clusters. We performed an actual problem to search several formations of galaxy on this system, and confirmed such a solution is useful for wide variety of computational astrophysics research. |

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.
