| Abstract | The need to increase performance while conserving energy lead to the emergence of multi-core processors. These processors provide a feasible option to improve performance of software applications by increasing the number of cores, instead of relying on increased clock speed of a single core. The uptake of multi-core processors by hardware vendors present variety of challenges to the software community. In this context, it is important that messaging libraries based on the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard support efficient inter-core communication. Typically processing cores of today's commercial multi-core processors share the main memory. As a result, it is vital to develop devices to exploit this. MPJ Express is our implementation of the MPI-like Java bindings. The software has mainly supported communication with two devices; the first is based on Java New I/O (NIO) and the second is based on Myrinet. In this paper, we present two shared memory implementations meant for providing efficient communication of multi-core and SMP clusters. The first implementation is pure Java and uses Java threads to exploit multiple cores. Each Java thread represents anMPI level OS process and communication between these threads is achieved using shared data structures. The second implementation is based on the System V (SysV) IPC API. Our goal is to achieve better communication performance than already existing devices based on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Myrinet on SMP and multi-core platforms. Another design goal is that existing parallel applications must not be modified for this purpose, thus relieving application developers from extra efforts of porting their applications to such modern clusters. We have benchmarked our implementations and report that threads-based device performs the best on an Intel quad-core Xeon cluster. |

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.
