Han, Rui (author), Liu, Chi Harold (author), Zong, Zan (author), Chen, Lydia Y. (author), Liu, Wending (author), Wang, Siyi (author), Zhan, Jianfeng (author)Cluster schedulers provide flexible resource sharing mechanism for best-effort cloud jobs, which occupy a majority in modern datacenters. Properly tuning a scheduler's configurations is the key to these jobs' performance because it decides how to allocate resources among them. Today's cloud scheduling systems usually rely on cluster operators...journal article 2019

(author), Wang, Ting (author), Jia, Jianguo (author), Han, Ying (author)Background: Since subjective cognitive decline (SCD) was standardized in 2014, many studies have investigated its features. However, the risk of SCD (plus) progressing to AD is much higher, and yet there have been few studies reporting the risk factors and neuropsychological assessment characteristics of SCD (plus). Objective: To characterize...journal article 2019
