Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for reducing the failure of processes. After a job is received, a determination is made as whether the received job is a 'short-lived job' or a 'long-lived job.' A short-lived job refers to a job who accomplishes a given task in less than a threshold period of time. A long-lived job refers to a job who accomplishes a given task in greater than a threshold period of time. For an identified long-lived job, the long-lived job is executed on a single process apart from other processes; whereas, the short-lived job is executed on at least one process separate from the processes executing long-lived jobs. As a result of executing the long-lived jobs on separate processes from the short-lived jobs, the likelihood of having a process fail is lessened since the duration of time that the process is running will be lessened.
