Abstract:
1. A system for improving latency during message processing in a network environment, said system comprising: an engine tier distributed on a cluster network of computing devices, wherein the engine tier maintains short lived data objects that are local in thread scope, wherein the short lived data objects in the engine tier are garbage collected during thread processing on the engine tier; and a state tier distributed on the cluster network of said computing devices, wherein the state tier maintains long lived data objects that are global in thread scope, wherein the long lived data objects in the state tier are garbage collected by halting all thread processing in the state tier for a period of time; wherein the engine tier receives a message associated with a call having call state and upon receiving the message, the engine tier whereby the halting of all thread processing caused by garbage collecting the long lived objects in the state tier is separated from message processing in the engine tier.
