Abstract
Systems and methods for performing latency-free database searches using two-level indexed data structures having decreasing integer sets as identifiers to represent actual data. The indexed data structures are stored in distributed memory. Data operations such as intersection and union are performed using the indexed data structures. A binary interval reduction technique is used to quickly move through the data sets looking for common elements for the intersection set, or unique elements to add to the union set.
