| Abstract | The concurrent functional programming language Erlang has been designed to ease the development of large-scale distributed soft real-time control applications. So far, it has been used quite successfully in industry, both within Ericsson Telecom, where it was designed and developed, and by other companies. This “declarative language success-story” has taken place despite the fact that Erlang implementations are slow compared with implementations of other functional languages. Wanting to improve the performance aspects of publicly available Erlang implementations, which are based on emulators, we embarked on a project called HiPE (High-Performance Erlang) whose aim has been to develop an efficient just-in-time native code compiler for Erlang (called the HiPE system). Since its start in 1996, the system has gone through various (re-)design phases, partly due to implementation choices that did not turn out to be as promising as they appeared on paper, but mainly due to changes in Ericsson’s Erlang system upon which the HiPE system is built. In this article, we describe how the HiPE system was developed, what it currently looks like, and its current performance. We critically examine design decisions that we took, and the main lessons learnt from implementing them. Finally, we also report on our experiences from trying to keep up with the concurrent development of Ericsson’s base Erlang system. As such, this article both documents the HiPE system and can serve as possible guidance to anyone wishing to attempt a similar feat. |

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.
