Publication number: 20240110489Abstract: An assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes a case assembly, at least one seal, a first pressure sensor, and a computing system. The case assembly forms a cavity. The at least one seal is disposed on the case assembly. The at least one seal is configured to seal the cavity. The first pressure sensor is in fluid communication with the cavity. The first pressure sensor is configured to measure a first pressure within the cavity. The computing system is in signal communication with the first pressure sensor. The computing system includes a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to compare the first pressure to a pressure threshold value to identify a wear condition of the at least one seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Nicolas Marchand, Velda Wong, Ehsan Farvardin, Benoit Trudel, Sri Krishna Subramanian, Gabriel St-Laurent, Benjamin Z.

Patent number: 9021490Abstract: Embodiments of the presently claimed invention automatically and systematically schedule jobs in a computer system thereby optimizing job throughput while simultaneously minimizing the amount of time a job waits for access to a shareable resource in the system. Such embodiments may implement a methodology that continuously pre-conditions the profile of requests submitted to a job scheduler such that the resulting schedule for the dispatch of those jobs results in optimized use of available computer system resources. Through this methodology, the intersection of the envelope of available computer system shareable resources may be considered in the context of the envelope of requested resources associated with the jobs in the system input queue. By using heuristic policies, an arrangement of allocations of available resources against requested resources may be determined thereby maximizing resource consumption on the processing system.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Inventor: Benoît Marchand

Publication number: 20120297395Abstract: A system and method for managing the processing of work units being processed on a computer system having shared resources e.g. multiple processing cores, memory, bandwidth, etc. The system comprises a job scheduler for scheduling access to the shared resources for the work units, and an event trap for capturing resource related allocation events. The event trap is adapted to dynamically adjust the amount of availability associated with each shared resource identified by the resource related allocation event. The allocation event may define a resource release or a resource request. The event trap may increase the amount of availability for allocation events defining a resource release, and decrement the amount of availability for allocation events defining a resource request. The job scheduler allocates resources to the work units using a real time amount of availability of the shared resources in order to maximize a consumption of the shared resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: EXLUDUS INC.Inventors: Benoit Marchand, Xinliang Zhou

Patent number: 7707457Abstract: Apparatus and method to improve the speed, scalability, robustness and dynamism of multicast data transfers to remote computers. Many Grid Computing applications, such as Genomics, Proteomics, Seismic, Risk Management, etc., require a priori transfer of sets of files or other data to remote computers prior to processing taking place. Existing multicast and data transfer protocols are static and can not guarantee that all nodes will contain a copy of the replicated data or files. The fully distributed data transfer and data replication protocol of the invention permits transfers which minimize processing requirements on master transfer nodes by spreading work across the network. The result is higher scalability than current centralized protocols, more dynamism and allows fault-tolerance by distribution of functionality. The ability to distribute the protocol is simplified through our innovative symmetric-connectionless data transfer protocol.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2007Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: eXludus Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Benoit Marchand

Publication number: 20100043008Abstract: Embodiments of the presently claimed invention minimize the effect of Amdahl's Law with respect to multi-core processor technologies. This scheme is asynchronous across all of the cores of a processing system and is completely independent of other cores and other work units running on those cores. This scheme occurs on an as needed and just in time basis. As a result, the constraints of Amdahl's Law do not apply to a scheduling algorithm and the design is linearly scalable with the number of processing cores with no degradation due to the effects of serialization.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2009Publication date: February 18, 2010Inventor: Benoit Marchand
