Abstract
A distributed bid processing method uses a number of computers to process bids for a given open-cry auction or descending price auction in a distributed manner. The computers examine a set of bids and quickly filter out the losing bids. This helps in achieving faster processing and reduces response times. Two methods are developed for open-cry auctions and one for descending price auction. The methods apply to a distributed web server where some servers may be placed far apart geographically.
