This book details the analytical processes, and interpretation of the resulting data, needed in order to achieve a comprehensive source-rock evaluation of organic-rich shales. The authors employ case studies on Permian and Cretaceous shales from various Indian basins and other petroleum-bearing basins around the world to illustrate the key features of their organic-rich shale characterization methodology. These case studies may also help to identify potential zones within shale formations that could be exploited for commercial gas and/or oil production. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to all researchers working in the field of source-rock analysis. In addition, the source-rock evaluation techniques – and the various intricacies associated with them – discussed here offer valuable material for postgraduate geology courses.

This synthesis lecture presents the current state-of-the-art in applying low-latency, lossless hardware compression algorithms to cache, memory, and the memory/cache link. There are many non-trivial challenges that must be addressed to make data compression work well in this context. First, since compressed data must be decompressed before it can be accessed, decompression latency ends up on the critical memory access path. This imposes a significant constraint on the choice of compression algorithms. Second, while conventional memory systems store fixed-size entities like data types, cache blocks, and memory pages, these entities will suddenly vary in size in a memory system that employs compression. Dealing with variable size entities in a memory system using compression has a significant impact on the way caches are organized and how to manage the resources in main memory. We systematically discuss solutions in the open literature to these problems. Chapter 2 provides the foundations of data compression by first introducing the fundamental concept of value locality. We then introduce a taxonomy of compression algorithms and show how previously proposed algorithms fit within that logical framework. Chapter 3 discusses the different ways that cache memory systems can employ compression, focusing on the trade-offs between latency, capacity, and complexity of alternative ways to compact compressed cache blocks. Chapter 4 discusses issues in applying data compression to main memory and Chapter 5 covers techniques for compressing data on the cache-to-memory links. This book should help a skilled memory system designer understand the fundamental challenges in applying compression to the memory hierarchy and introduce him/her to the state-of-the-art techniques in addressing them.

Many modern computer systems, including homogeneous and heterogeneous architectures, support shared memory in hardware. In a shared memory system, each of the processor cores may read and write to a single shared address space. For a shared memory machine, the memory consistency model defines the architecturally visible behavior of its memory system. Consistency definitions provide rules about loads and stores (or memory reads and writes) and how they act upon memory. As part of supporting a memory consistency model, many machines also provide cache coherence protocols that ensure that multiple cached copies of data are kept up-to-date. The goal of this primer is to provide readers with a basic understanding of consistency and coherence. This understanding includes both the issues that must be solved as well as a variety of solutions. We present both high-level concepts as well as specific, concrete examples from real-world systems.This second edition reflects a decade of advancements since the first edition and includes, among other more modest changes, two new chapters: one on consistency and coherence for non-CPU accelerators (with a focus on GPUs) and one that points to formal work and tools on consistency and coherence.

This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of advanced laboratory techniques tailored to reveal the complexities of shale properties. Highlighting state-of-the-art methods such as Rock-Eval pyrolysis, multi-scale imaging, spectroscopy, and geomechanical testing, it offers detailed insights into shale’s organic matter, pore structure, and anisotropic behavior. The book bridges theoretical concepts with laboratory analyses, addressing critical topics like hydrocarbon generation, gas storage, and the feasibility of CO₂ sequestration.The geochemical, petrophysical, and geomechanical characterization of shales has revolutionized our understanding of these complex sedimentary rocks. As critical players in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs and carbon sequestration, shales offer immense potential for energy security and climate change mitigation. However, their intricate mineralogical and textural heterogeneity poses significant challenges to accurate analysis and utilization.Designed for researchers, students, and industry professionals, the book emphasizes both foundational principles and cutting-edge developments in shale analysis. Each chapter builds on the previous, offering an integrated approach to geochemical, petrophysical, and geomechanical characterization. Furthermore, it identifies knowledge gaps and challenges, providing a roadmap for future research.A valuable resource for advancing unconventional resource recovery and carbon management strategies, this SpringerBrief equips readers with essential background knowledge to address contemporary energy and environmental challenges with precision and innovation.
