> I'm raising this question because I find {{cpuCores}} in {{ResourceSpec#merge}} are aggregated with {{max()}}, while in {{ResourceProfile#merge}} it is {{sum()}}.
> This means that when calculating resources of a vertex from within operators, the {{cpuCores}} is the max value. While it is a sum(or subtraction in {{ResourceProfile#subtract}}) when dealing with shared slot bookkeeping and related checks. 
> This is confusing to me, especially when I'm considering how to generate a shared slot resource spec merged from all vertices in it(see FLINK-14314).
> I'm not pretty sure if we already have a concise definition for it?
> If there is, we need to respect it and change {{ResourceSpec}} or {{ResourceProfile}} accordingly.
> If not, we need to decide it first before we can move on with fine grained resources.
> Need to mention that if we take the {{max()}} way, we need to re-consider how we can conduct a correct {{ResourceProfile#subtract}} regarding {{cpuCores}}, since there is not a clear way to reverse a {{max()}} computation.
