Abstract
Aspects of the invention include distributed systems and methods that provide data aggregation in a fast, lock-free manner. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes producing new data at a first producer node of a distributed system having two or more producer nodes, a consumer node, and a global view. The global view includes a hierarchical binary tree of cell addresses. Each producer node includes a local view of the global view. Responsive to producing the new data, the local view of the first producer node is updated with the new data and a local timestamp and, if the local timestamp is greater than a global timestamp, a pointer in a cell address of the global view is flipped to point to the new data.
