Abstract: Example data processing methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, a control node estimates a data volume of result data obtained after a plurality of second computing nodes execute a data processing task in parallel. The control node determines a quantity of reduce tasks based on the data volume and memory information of a first computing node that executes a reduce task. Each of the plurality of second computing nodes partitions, based on the quantity of reduced tasks, the result data generated after the data processing task is executed, where each partition corresponds to one reduce task. The first computing node performs reduce processing on data obtained after partitioning is performed by the plurality of second computing nodes.

Abstract: Multiple communication paths are established for communications between a User Equipment (UE) and a wireless communication network, before switching between those paths is initiated. Signaling that includes an explicit indication that the UE is to switch between the multiple communication paths is transmitted to and received by at least the UE for which the multiple communication paths were established. Responsive to the explicit indication, communications are switched between the communication paths. At least one of the communication paths includes a relay path between the UE and the wireless communication network through another UE. Establishment of the multiple paths in advance of the switching may be useful in enabling fast switching with low latency and/or no traffic loss.

Determining, by the first DPU based on the memory address assignment information and in the virtual memory address corresponding to the physical memory allocated by the storage node to the computing node, a virtual memory address range assigned to the first service process, and when the first DPU receives a data storage request from the first service process, sending, by the first DPU, a write data request to the second DPU over a communication link between the first DPU and the second DPU.

Abstract: This application discloses a communication method and apparatus. The communication method and apparatus are applicable to an Internet of Vehicles, or are applicable to fields such as D2D, intelligent driving, and intelligent network connected vehicles.

Abstract: Rather than typical slot type games where specific matching combinations of symbols along paylines through a row-by-column grid or matrix indicate the outcome of the game, a slot type concatenation game concatenates value symbols along a payline to form a numerical outcome. Non-value symbols may be omitted and/or ignored. Further, the payline may be indicated by the presence of a trigger symbol, which may allow the payline to change between different plays of the slot type concatenation game. Further, the slot type concatenation game may be user-configurable. Users may be allowed to indicate the number of the symbol reels that may include value symbols that will be concatenated along a payline defined by the trigger symbol. Users may be allowed indicate the denomination set that is used to configure the symbol reels with value symbols, such as from one or more value symbol tables.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for screening an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, and further relates to a kit and system for screening an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for providing multilevel autonomous tournaments for wagering game are provided. In some implementations, players may earn entry into such a tournament by meeting one or more criteria and then be associated with a tournament entry for that tournament. Each tournament entry may be associated with a set of tournament entries and, after a requisite number of tournament entries for a given tournament entry set has been associated with players, a selection of a tournament entry, and thus at least implicitly a player, may be made. The players selected in such a selection event may then be associated with a tournament entry in a next-highest tournament tier. Such selections may occur until a single player is selected from the highest-ranked tournament tier of the tournament.

The processor also displays a bingo card. The processor determines an outcome that includes a first plurality of symbols to display in the matrix of symbol positions and evaluates the outcome to determine a win amount. The processor populates the matrix of bingo positions with the first prize symbol to a bingo position of the matrix of bingo positions corresponding to a position of the prize symbol in the matrix of symbol positions. The processor evaluates the matrix of bingo positions to determine whether a predefined winning pattern is formed and, in response, determines an award value based at least in part on numerical values of prize symbols forming the predefined winning pattern in the matrix of bingo positions.

Abstract: A gaming machine provides a base game from which a feature game is triggered when a determined number of configurable symbols are displayed in a base game outcome. When the feature game is triggered, the configurable symbols are held in place on the display and the player is provided with more spins during the feature game in which to collect additional configurable symbols. Any additional configurable symbols are retained on the display during subsequent spins until the feature game is completed. The configurable symbols include mystery symbols whose value is not determined until the mystery symbol is displayed. A first valuation game, such as a wheel spin, is used to determine the value for the mystery symbols. At the end of the feature game, the player is awarded a prize based on the values carried by the configurable symbols. A second valuation game, such as a wheel spin, is used to provide an enhanced award if the player collects a determined number of configurable symbols during the feature game.
