| Abstract | The performance of computer systems depends, among other things, on the workload. This motivates the use of real workloads (as recorded in activity logs) to drive simulations of new designs. Unfortunately, real workloads may contain various anomalies that contaminate the data. A previously unrecognized type of anomaly is workload flurries: rare surges of activity with a repetitive nature, caused by a single user, that dominate the workload for a relatively short period. We find that long workloads often include at least one such event. We show that in the context of parallel job scheduling these events can have a significant effect on performance evaluation results, e.g. a very small perturbation of the simulation conditions might lead to a large and disproportional change in the outcome. This instability is due to jobs in the flurry being effected in unison, a consequence of the flurry's repetitive nature. We therefore advocate that flurries be filtered out before the workload is used, in order to achieve stable and more reliable evaluation results (analogously to the removal of outliers in statistical analysis). At the same time, we note that more research is needed on the possible effects of flurries |

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.
