  • Patent number: 10184320
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable medium having one or more computer programs stored therein, and computer-implemented methods are provided to enhance hydrocarbon reservoir simulation for a plurality of hydrocarbon reservoirs. According to embodiments, a plurality of fluid flow simulation runs in each of a plurality of hydrocarbon reservoirs are initiated. Then, each of a first set of one or more of the plurality of simulation runs are terminated while each of a second set of one or more of the plurality of simulation runs continue. Terminating each of the first set of simulation runs can increase processing availability within a collective limited and predetermined combined computing capacity of one or more processors to another one or more of the plurality of simulation runs being run. Consequently, terminating each of the first set of simulation runs can thereby reduce total hydrocarbon reservoir simulation run time.

  • Publication number: 20060181953
    Abstract: A memory system includes storage cells, a respective one of which is configured to store a fixed charge therein when a write voltage applied thereto is above a predetermined threshold voltage and to discharge the fixed charge therefrom when the write voltage applied thereto is below the threshold voltage. The storage cells may be charged and/or discharged at a latency that is a function of a voltage differential between the write voltage and the threshold voltage. A variable-latency write circuit for the storage cells is configured to dynamically vary the voltage differential between the write voltage and the threshold voltage to provide a variable-latency write operation that stores the fixed charge therein or discharges the fixed charge therefrom. Related methods are also discussed.
