I'm interested in this counter - what is its main function?

It provides "sequential-ness" to actions by supplying a unique "id" for compute/send actions, which allows other actions to depend on their results.

(In other words, it's a hack, but it works for a quick and dirty simulation. If they were random, it would be harder to write a series of actions with inter-dependencies, because I'd need to write some mechanism for transmitting the ids. Here the ids can be known ahead of time, because they're assigned sequentially.)

Description
This experimental code demonstrates running multiple workers simultaneously in a single thread with
asyncio, and shows how remote execution primitives (along the lines ofPlans/Protocols) necessarily becomeasync-aware if they containasynccross-worker communication methods.Checklist:
