Abstract: Candidate duplicate events are identified as they are executed via data replication within a distributed system. A periodicity of the identified candidate duplicate events is identified. In response to identifying the periodicity, a delay is introduced into execution of a first event related to the candidate duplicate event. A feedback loop of the distributed system is identified based on an observed delay in the timing of another event of the candidate duplicate events.

Abstract: A system and method for allocating stock and cash amounts to individual trades in a netted trade. The system and method include bundling individual securities trades into a netted trade, transmitting the netted trade to a clearing house, receiving a settlement message from the clearing house, and allocating stock and cash amounts to individual trades in the netted trade in a manner consistent with the settlement message.

Abstract: A system configured to model geometric architectures of flow events in geological reservoirs. In one embodiment, the system comprises a geological control input, a rules module, and a modeling module. The geological control input is configured to receive a set of environmental conditions that act as geological controls impacting a geometric architecture of a geological reservoir at a point in geologic time. The rules module is configured to apply a set of rules to the set of environmental conditions present at the point in geologic time to determine geometric flow parameters of the geometric architecture, wherein the set of rules comprise one or more empirical rules. The modeling module is configured to model the geometric architecture based on the geometric flow parameters determined for the flow event by the rules module.

Abstract: A method of determining geological information related to a subsurface volume. In one embodiment, the method comprises obtaining a seismic information related to a subsurface volume; determining a horizon volume that automatically maps the seismic information into a flattened volume, wherein one axis of the flattened volume corresponds to chronostratigraphic time, and wherein horizons represented by the seismic information are automatically accounted for in the horizon volume, and are shifted by the horizon volume into the flattened volume to be substantially planar and substantially perpendicular to the axis of the flattened volume that corresponds to chronostratigraphic time; determining a derivative of the horizon volume with respect to chronostratigraphic time; and determining geological information related to the subsurface volume based on the derivative of the horizon volume with respect to chronostratigraphic time.

Abstract: A method of determining a horizon volume. In one embodiment, the horizon volume is determined from obtained seismic information, and maps the obtained seismic information onto a flattened volume such that in the flattened volume, horizons represented in the obtained seismic information are shifted to be substantially coplanar with a surface defined by the horizon volume as an estimate of a single chronostratigraphic time such that the parameters of the flattened volume include (i) a two-dimensional position in a surface plane, and (ii) a metric related to chronostratigraphic time.

Abstract: In a system for generating dividend information, detailed information regarding trades is stored in a data storage system. The detailed information may include, without limitation, book information, depot information, counterparty information, a trade direction (e.g., buy or sell), and a number of shares traded. Based upon the detailed trade information, dividend information is generated that may be used for both PNL purposes and for accounting purposes. The detailed trade information may also include whether the trade is an “ex-div” trade, a “cum-div” trade, or neither. Trades normally eligible for a dividend are excluded from dividend information generation when identified as an ex-div trade. Trades not normally eligible for a dividend are included in dividend information generation when identified as a cum-div trade.
