Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for workload scheduling is provided. The present invention may include determining a spare resource on each of a plurality of hosts for a plurality of workloads. The present invention may include obtaining an average resource consumption on the plurality of hosts based on a historical resource consumption association with the plurality of workloads. The present invention may include determining a boost action based on the spare resource and the average resource consumption, the boost action comprising a number of tasks among the plurality of tasks assigned to a respective one of the plurality of hosts. The present invention may include dispatching the number of tasks to the respective one of the plurality of hosts based on the boost action.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a humidity-stiffening polymer material, and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The humidity-stiffening polymer material includes the following raw materials: a monomer, an ionic liquid, a salt, a cross-linking agent and an initiator, wherein the monomer includes benzyl methacrylate, the ionic liquid includes an imidazole-based ionic liquid, and the salt includes a hygroscopic salt. The method for preparing the humidity-stiffening polymer material includes: mixing the raw materials to obtain a precursor liquid, performing reaction on the mixture after degassing, and drying the mixture to obtain the humidity-stiffening polymer material. The humidity-stiffening polymer material is applied to actuators, soft robots and wearable biomedical devices based on bionic design.

Abstract: A block of data intended for a set of receiving computer systems comprising a first system and a second system is divided into a set of equal-size portions. A first portion of the set of portions is transmitted from a first file server storing the block of data to the first system. The first portion is relayed from the first file server to a second file server concurrently with the transmitting. The first portion of the set of portions is transmitted from the second file server to the second system.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, computer program products for resource scheduling are provided. The method comprises: receiving a workload request; publishing the information of the workload to a workload billboard accessible to a plurality of computer hosts, each of the plurality of computer hosts being associated with a corresponding proxy configured to manage the resource scheduling of the computer host; receiving a request to schedule at least a portion of the workload from a proxy; and sending the portion of the workload to the computer host associated with the proxy.

Abstract: A method for displaying information to the occupants of a vehicle includes setting a display-hosting region on a window of a vehicle and obtaining a number of driving parameters of the vehicle. Points of interest (POI) information, such as landmarks, and commercial and other desired locations, which satisfy a number of preset conditions according to the number of the driving parameters are obtained. Facial images and face parameters of occupants are obtained, and POI and associated information can be displayed according to the number of facial parameters. The POI information is displayed to one or more display regions.

Abstract: A processing circuitry, a method to be performed at the processing circuitry, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computing system. The processing circuitry is to determine a first mapping between a first set of data parameters and first computing units of a computing network; select, based on the first mapping and on first data having a first workload associated therewith, one or more of the first computing units to execute the first workload, and send for execution the first workload to the one or more of the first computing units; determine a second mapping based on a change in computing units from the first computing units to second computing units, the second mapping between a second set of data parameters and the second computing units; and select, based on the second mapping and on second data having a second workload associated therewith, one or more of the second computing units to execute the second workload.
