In the simplest of cases there can be a one-to-one mapping between jobs and instances but this makes sense only if the overhead of creating an instance is negligible compared to the job running time and if the instance resources are fully utilised by the workload.
Given that the overhead of creating checkpoints is minimal (a few milliseconds compared with hours of processing time for a typical pipeline), carefully crafted checkpoint statements within the pipeline code can be useful to prevent losing processed data, mitigate damage and minimize the overhead when rerun, which can be critical for long running pipelines.
UniChem, a large-scale, non-redundant database of Standard InChIs with pointers between these structures and chemical identifiers from all the separate chemistry resources, was developed as a means of efficiently sharing the maintenance overhead of creating these links.
However, for configurations in which only a small amount of samples is collected, the overhead of creating multiple threads outweighs its processing benefit; hence, the sample-processing thread can no longer follow the sample-collecting thread.
The results also show that the overhead of creating and maintaining VGA is greatly reduced, and thus the routing performance is improved significantly.
The humble nature of the property, hidden from view of major roads and in a place where trees flanking the roadway on each side meet overhead to create a darkness reminiscent of an enchanted forest, captivates visitors.
Typically a wave needs to be "throwing" and at least a bit overhead to create a barrel for a surfer.
There, giant redwoods rise hundreds of feet overhead, creating a light-deprived landscape underneath — a primeval sensory-deprivation chamber.
Replication is one of the most broadly studied phenomena in the distributed environments in which multiple copies of some data are stored at multiple sites where overheads of creating, maintaining and updating the replicas are important and challenging issues.
The conversion was an inspired idea, because the bridge's lack of structure overhead creates a space uniquely congenial to pedestrians.
