Load prediction based elastic resource scheduling strategy in Flink by Ziyang LI, Jiong YU, Yuefei WANG, Chen BIAN, Yonglin PU, Yitian ZHANG, Yu LIU

“…In order to solve the problem that the load of big data stream computing platform fluctuates drastically while the cluster was suffering from the performance bottleneck due to the shortage of computing resources,the load prediction based elastic resource scheduling strategy in Flink (LPERS-Flink) was proposed.Firstly,the load prediction model was set up as the foundation to propose the load prediction algorithm and predict the variation tendency of the processing load.Secondly,the resource judgment model was set up to identify the performance bottleneck and resource redundancy of the cluster while the resource scheduling algorithm was proposed to draw up the resource rescheduling plan.Finally,the online load migration algorithm was proposed to execute the resource rescheduling plan and migrate processing load among nodes efficiently.The experimental results show that the strategy provides better performance promotion in the application with drastically fluctuating processing load.The scale and resource configuration of the cluster responded to the variation of processing load in time and the communication overhead of the load migration was reduced effectively.…”

Nuit javanaise. Réflexions sur le Merapi, la verticalité et le paganisme by Jean-Baptiste Bing

“…The first part highlights the high places and the dense-moments of the volcano’s nightlife, whose mountain and night-time qualities meet and support each other; the second part reframes these practices and representations within the context of conflicts between puritan orthodoxy and local practices, where the night and the mountain play a similar role; finally, the third part conceptualises the space-time link between this place and this moment and hypothesises that, beyond a simple simultaneity, there is a similar relationship to verticality, which is itself regarded as the result of a trajection.…”

Blind source separation communication anti-jamming technology and practice by Fuqiang YAO, Miao YU, Pengcheng GUO, Miaomiao GU

“…Aiming at the threat of broad frequency band suppressing jamming and the inherent contradiction between spectrum resources and communication anti-jamming ability, a method was proposed to add the statistics domain dimension on the basis of spread spectrum anti-jamming, which promoted the transformation of communication anti-jamming from hard anti-jamming to accommodate the jamming.The statistical characteristics difference between communication signal and jamming signal was utilized by blind source separation (BSS) communication anti-jamming technology to separate signals, which could improve the communication anti-jamming ability without increasing spectrum resources.To understand and improve the development process of BSS communication anti-jamming (BSSCA) from theory and algorithm to engineering practice, the basic principle of BSSCA was described, the key technologies such as multi-channel BSS and single channel BSS were emphasized.The main characteristics and existing problems of BSSCA were analyzed.Finally, the development priorities of this field were pointed out.…”
