Abstract
A method is implemented by a computing device to identify available ones of a plurality of items of an inventory, where each of the plurality of items has a hold status identifying the item as being currently available or already on hold. The method includes selecting available ones of the plurality of items based on a first bitset and a plurality of second bitsets and asynchronously updating the first bitset and the plurality of second bitsets to reflect a synchronously updated version of the hold status of the plurality of items resulting from one or more of the plurality of items being successfully placed on hold and/or released from being placed on hold.
