Abstract
Detecting stalling of a software process in a computer system includes receiving identification of a work process thread group, including a work process thread, for a task. The task is marked as running responsive to detecting whether there is a state change for the work process thread and is marked as stalled responsive to detecting an absence of the state change for a first predefined amount of time. The work process is marked as stalled responsive to detecting an absence of a predetermined signal from the work process for a second predefined amount of time. An API gets stack traces for the work process thread via calls. Instances of a hash are calculated for each of the stack traces. Respective instances of the hash calculated at least the first amount of time apart are compared for detecting whether there is a state change for the work process thread.
