Abstract

The present disclosure relates to technology broadcasting shared information in a network. When a user broadcasting the information is distributing to a limited number of users, the system will selectively distribute the information to the limited number of users using a direct iterative or parallelized mechanism. When the user broadcasting the information is distributing to a large number of users, the system will selectively distribute the information using a distributed and parallel processing mechanism. The distributed and parallel processing mechanism includes multiple processing nodes, formed of multiple processing sub-nodes, with varying depths or hierarchal levels which allow for the propagation of the information in an efficient manner without exhausting computing resources.
