CONCURRENT EVENT DETECTION FOR DISTRIBUTED RASTERIZATION PROCESSING IN A PRINTING ENVIRONMENT

Systems and methods are provided for event detection. One embodiment includes an interface that acquires logs, and a controller that is able to identify events recited in the logs, to include the events within a list sorted based on at least one of start times or end times indicated by the timing data, and to determine a longest duration of the events. The controller receives a requested time, calculates a prior time separated by the longest duration from the requested time, and processes the list by: identifying a first index of the list for a first event in time having a start time on or after the prior time, and identifying a last index of the list for a last event in time having a start time on or before the requested time. The controller generates a set of events bounded by the first index and the last index.
