Systems and methods for data synchronization

A system for lock free data synchronization, comprising:

• a memory unit comprising machine-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor operably connected to the memory unit, the processor configured to execute the machine-readable instructions, the machine-readable instructions when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
• determine a position of an in-pointer associated with a producer entity and an out-pointer associated with a consumer entity, wherein each of the in-pointer and the out-pointer is associated with a respective slot within a buffer, and the position of each pointer indicates a status of the buffer,
• record a producer lap indicator and a consumer lap indicator associated with the producer entity and consumer entity, respectively, in a first set of slots associated with the buffer,
• determine a modulated lap value of each of the producer lap indicator and the consumer lap indicator, wherein the modulated lap value is determined at least on the in-pointer and the out-pointer associated the corresponding producer entity and consumer entity traverse along each slot in the buffer, the modulated lap value being stored in a producer paperclip indicator and the consumer paperclip indicator are recorded in a second set of slots associated with the buffer,
• detect a race condition based at least on the in-pointer and the out-pointer being referenced to a single slot within the buffer, and compare the producer paperclip indicator and the consumer paperclip indicator at the single slot, and
• determine a sequence to access the buffer upon addressing the race condition.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising machine-readable instructions, the machine-readable instructions when executed by a processor of a system enable the system to perform a method comprising steps of:

• determine a position of an in-pointer associated with a producer entity and an out-pointer associated with a consumer entity, wherein each of the in-pointer and the out-pointer is associated with a respective slot within a buffer, and the position of each pointer indicates a status of the buffer;
• record a producer lap indicator and a consumer lap indicator associated with the producer entity and consumer entity, respectively, in a first set of slots associated with the buffer;
• determine a modulated lap value of each of the producer lap indicator and the consumer lap indicator, wherein the modulated lap value is determined at least on the in-pointer and the out-pointer associated the corresponding producer entity and consumer entity traverse along each slot in the buffer, the modulated lap value being stored in a producer paperclip indicator and the consumer paperclip indicator are recorded in a second set of slots associated with the buffer;
• detect a race condition based at least on the in-pointer and the out-pointer being referenced to a single slot within the buffer, and compare the producer paperclip indicator and the consumer paperclip indicator at the single slot;
• and
• determine a sequence to access the buffer upon addressing the race condition.
