Publication number: 20240301301Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to processes for handling renewable hydrocarbon feeds and conventional hydrocarbon feeds. One aspect of the disclosure provides a process for co-processing a renewable feed and a petroleum feed, the process comprising: hydrotreating the petroleum feed in a first reaction one, wherein the hydrotreating of the petroleum feed comprises one or more of hydrodesulfurization, hydrodenitrogenation, hydrodemetallization, isomerization, hydrogenation of olefins, and hydrocracking, to form a first reaction zone effluent; conducting the first reaction zone effluent to a second reaction zone; and in the second reaction zone hydrotreating a combination of the first reaction zone effluent and the renewable feed, wherein the hydrotreating of the combination comprises one or more of hydrodeoxygenation, decarboxylation, decarbonylation, isomerization and hydrogenation of olefins of the renewable feed, to form a second reaction zone effluent.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Paul Ziegelaar, John Shabaker, Christoph Schmitz, Vincent Kispersky, Nigel Philip Wells

Patent number: 9270489Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for congestion notification in mixed-fabric InfiniBand networks. In one aspect, a system and apparatus is provided wherein a receiving endpoint receives, from a sending endpoint, InfiniBand messages over a mixed-fabric network. The mixed-fabric network may include an InfiniBand transport layer and a non-InfiniBand messaging fabric. The non-InfiniBand massaging fabric may be any type of non-InfiniBand data-link-layer and network-layer network (e.g. Ethernet, IP). For example, the receiving endpoint may receive a non-InfiniBand protocol data unit (PDU) that contains at least a part of a first InfiniBand PDU as payload. The receiving endpoint may extract signaling from the received non-InfiniBand PDU that indicates whether congestion has been detected in the non-InfiniBand layers of the mixed-fabric network.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2012Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Philip Wells, Michael Marty

Patent number: 8730965Abstract: Adaptive packet routing is employed in a multiprocessor network configuration such as an InfiniBand switch architecture. Packets are routed from host to host through one or more switches. Upon receipt of a packet at a switch, the packet header is inspected to determine the destination host. A destination field in the header is used to index into a lookup table or other memory, which produces a route type and an output port grouping. Depending on the route type, one or more primary and secondary output port candidates are identified. An output port arbitration module chooses an output port from which to send a given packet, using congestion sensing inputs for the specified ports. A heuristic may include the congestion information that is provided to the arbitration module. Switching may be performed among minimal or non-minimal routes along each hop in the path, depending upon link and packet injection information.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Dennis Charles Abts, Peter Michael Klausler, Michael Marty, Philip Wells

Patent number: 8601297Abstract: Energy proportional solutions are provided for computer networks such as datacenters. Congestion sensing heuristics are used to adaptively route traffic across links. Traffic intensity is sensed and links are dynamically activated as they are needed. As the offered load is decreased, the lower channel utilization is sensed and the link speed is reduced to save power. Flattened butterfly topologies can be used in a further power saving approach. Switch mechanisms are exploit the topology's capabilities by reconfiguring link speeds on-the-fly to match bandwidth and power with the traffic demand. For instance, the system may estimate the future bandwidth needs of each link and reconfigure its data rate to meet those requirements while consuming less power. In one configuration, a mechanism is provided where the switch tracks the utilization of each of its links over an epoch, and then makes an adjustment at the end of the epoch.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Dennis C.
