SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING CONCURRENT DATA REQUESTS

In some embodiments, systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided herein useful for managing a plurality of concurrent and nearly concurrent data requests within a computer system. The systems have a main data storage for storing source data, and a high speed, and/or remote data storage for storing computed data. In some embodiments, a combination of data filters and distributed mutex processes are used to eliminate or limit duplicate reads and writes into the high speed data storage units by ensuring only a single service module gets a lock to do the read and update of the cache; and makes it possible for keys to expire and be removed from the data filter. The systems and methods herein have various applications including retail sales environments where the requested data is related to product sales, product availability and the like.
