Abstract: The present invention refers to a method of drilling a marine wellbore with fluid reverse circulation without using drilling riser tubulars. In reverse circulation drilling, the fluid return with gravels occurs inside the drill string (17) and the injection of clean fluid is done through the annular of the well, so that, having a rotating head over the BOP (19), or inside it, the use of riser tubulars as a flow line for the fluid return with gravels is disposed, using instead the drill string (17). For the kill and choke lines, as well as for fluid injection, rigid or flexible lines can be used, eliminating the need to use drilling risers, thus releasing large load capacity and space on the probe. The method of this invention also eliminates the need for large volumes of fluid to fill entire riser tubulars. The entire operation can be done without the need for subsea pumps or concentric columns.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a shared read request (SRR) using a common request tracker (CRT) as a temporary cache. In one example, a multi-core system includes a memory and a memory controller to receive a SRR from a core when a Leader core is not yet identified, allocate a CRT entry and store the SRR therein, mark it as a Leader, send a read request to a memory address indicated by the SRR, and when read data returns from the memory, store the read data in the CRT entry, send the read data to the Leader core, and await receipt, unless already received, of another SRR from a Follower core, the other SRR having a same address as the SRR, then, send the read data to the Follower core, and deallocate the CRT entry.
