  • Efficient data synchronization and segregation using virtualized and modular representations
    Patent number: 12541536
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention involve composing synchronization structures that enable increased synchronization control. A virtual synchronization structure enables synchronization using structure traversal without replicating the full data set. This results in computing systems that are at a desired level of synchronization without full data replication. This method has the advantage of enabling limited sharing between systems and also speed.
