Conservation of electronic communications resources and computing resources via selective processing of substantially continuously updated data

Abstract

In a system including a primary process followed by a secondary process, which are performed serially and sequentially, i.e., in a FIFO manner, where the secondary process is downstream of the primary process, the disclosed embodiments relate to selective/conditional secondary processing of electronic data transaction request messages, which speeds up the primary processing of the electronic data transaction request messages, reduces reduce the amount of computing resources wasted on calculating inaccurate information, and reducing the usage of network resources associated with publishing market data feeds and receiving new responsive messages.
