Abstract: The present disclosure relates to utilizing a processing engine system to asynchronously cancel outstanding service requests efficiently and flexibly in computing systems. For example, the processing engine system facilitates asynchronous cancellation of requests by utilizing sequence numbers to validate requests at different stages of a request processing flow. In particular, after efficiently performing local cancellation operations, the processing engine system guarantees that resources associated with canceled requests are deallocated and free to process other requests. Indeed, the processing engine system is able to provide this processing resource-free guarantee without contacting or waiting for remote resources to return outstanding processing requests.
