Lockless distributed counting of message requests

A message processing system for providing lockless distributed counting of message requests, the message processing system comprising:

• one or more clients that transmit a plurality of message requests;
• a plurality of message processors that
• receive the plurality of message requests, and
• increment a local count, for one time slot, in each message processor of the plurality of message processors based on the plurality of message requests, and a shared state system that
• increments a global count, for one version, by value of the local count at a preconfigured time interval, wherein the local count is decremented to a value zero, and
• synchronizes, asynchronously, a global count in each message processor of the plurality of message processors with the global count in the shared state system.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that when executed by a processor, performs a method of providing lockless distributed counting of message requests, comprising:

• receiving a plurality of message requests from a client by a plurality of message processors;
• incrementing a local count, for one time slot, in each message processor of the plurality of message processors based on the plurality of message requests;
• incrementing a global count in a shared state system, for one version, by value of the local count at a preconfigured time interval, wherein the local count is decremented to a value zero;
• synchronizing, asynchronously, a global count in each message processor of the plurality of message processors with the global count in the shared state system;
• and
• resetting the local count and the global count in each message processor of the plurality of message processors to the value zero for a next time slot.
