EFFICIENT LOGICAL MERGING OVER PHYSICALLY DIVERGENT STREAMS

摘要

FIELD: information technology.;SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to data processing and can be used in systems for controlling data streams. Logical merge module comprises an element parsing module, an element type determining module, an element processing module for determining an output action, selected from among: providing no contribution to output stream, providing new output information to output stream, adjusting previous output information in output stream and providing progress marker information to output stream; and a state management module for adjusting a state associated with logical merge module.;EFFECT: technical result is obtaining an output stream, which is logically compatible with two or more physically diverging input streams.;17 cl, 19 dwg
