Abstract
A computing system is provided and includes first computing resources representing a fraction of total computing resources, second computing resources representing at least a partial remainder of the total computing resources except for the first computing resources, and a memory unit. The memory unit includes a computer-readable medium having computer-readable executable instructions stored thereon that are accessible to at least the second computing resources. When executed, the executable instructions cause the second computing resources to monitor a process running on the first computing resources in accordance with pre-selected parameters, to determine that a potential lock or wait situation that impedes the process is in effect from a result of the monitoring and to execute an action in response to the potential lock or wait situation.
