The invention concerns a catalyst comprising a support based on alumina or silica or silica-alumina, at least one element selected from group VIII and/or group VIB, and at least one catecholamine. The invention also concerns the process for the preparation of said catalyst and its use in a hydrotreatment and/or hydrocracking process.

A catalyst system comprising a combination of: 1) one or more catalyst compounds comprising at least one nitrogen linkage; 2) a support comprising an organosilica material, which is a mesoporous organosilica material; and 3) an optional activator. Useful catalysts include pyridyldiamido transition metal complexes, HN5 compounds, and bis(imino)pyridyl complexes. The organosilica material is a polymer of at least one monomer of Formula [Z.sup.1OZ.sup.2SiCH.sub.2].sub.3(1), where Z.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-C.sub.4alkyl group, or a bond to a silicon atom of another monomer and Z.sup.2 represents a hydroxyl group, a C1-C.sub.4alkoxy group, a C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl group, or an oxygen atom bonded to a silicon atom of another monomer. This invention further relates to processes to polymerize olefins comprising contacting one or more olefins with the above catalyst system.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to facilitate an anticipation of an execution of a process termination tool. An allocation stall counter may be queried at a certain frequency, and from the query of the allocation stall counter, a number of allocation stall counter increments occurring over a certain duration of time may be determined. If the number of allocation stall counter increments is greater than a threshold, a determination may be made that system memory is running low and that an execution of a process termination tool is imminent. In response to the determination that system memory is running low, a flag indicating that system memory is running low may be set, and one or more programs, in response to reading the flag, may free memory that is not necessary or required for execution.
