Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a host to provide TX packets to a shared adapter that then uses a NIC to forward the TX packet to a network. In one embodiment, the host creates or fills in one or more TX storage block page entries (SBPE) for the TX packet and stores an index of the TX SBPE in host memory. The host memory can also store an initiative state that tracks whether the shared adapter is currently processing TX packets. If not, the host can issue an interrupt to the shared adapter, along with the index associated with the TX SBPE. The shared adapter can then fetch the TX SBPE from host memory and program the NIC to transmit the TX packet.

Abstract: A pumping system deployed in a wellbore is designed for producing two-phase fluids through production tubing to a wellhead, while protecting downhole tubulars and equipment from corrosive gases from the wellbore. The pumping system includes a pump, a gas separator upstream from the pump, a packer above the pump, and a gas evacuation module between the pump and the packer. The packer blocks the movement of gases through the annular space and forms a gas collection space between the packer and the pump. The gas evacuation module is configured to remove gas from the gas collection space and mix the gas with liquid-dominant fluids received from the pump. The gas separator includes an intake configured to receive the two-phase fluids, a gas discharge configured to eject gas-dominant fluids into the annular space, and a liquid discharge configured to provide the pump with liquid-dominant fluids.
