| Abstract | Powerful memory models, including hierarchies with block transfer or with pipeline of accesses have been proposed in theory and are partially realized in commercial systems, to reduce the average memory overhead per operation. However, even for such powerful models, there are simple direct flow programs, with no branches and no indirect addressing that require non-constant overhead, resulting in superlinear execution time. Indeed, we characterize a wide, natural class of machines, including nearly all previously proposed models, and develop a technique, which yields superlinear time lower bounds on any machine of this class, for suitable direct-flow computations. We propose the address dependence model (ADM) for machines with pipelined memory hierarchies, where any direct-flow program runs in time linear in the number of executed instructions. As an example of the capabilities of ADM for algorithms non amenable to direct-flow formulation, we show how to implement quicksort in time proportional to the number of executed comparisons, whose expected value is O(n log n), even on memories where the latency of address x is a(x)=/spl theta/(x). (In contrast, T=/spl Omega/(n log/sup 2/ n) for sorting in the block transfer model of [A. Aggarwal et al. (1987)].) Finally, we consider the question of physical implementation of ADM and propose an extensible machine design, in which the number of gates and the length of a wire that a signal traverses in one clock period are, within a given technology, independent of system size. Such designs scale with system size (in particular, with memory latency) as well as with technological advancement. We assume aggressive, but feasible [G. Bilardi et al. (2002)], hierarchical memories pipelinable at a constant rate. The main contribution is a novel processor organization capable of fully exploiting such memories. |

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.
