Technologies for monitoring health of a process on a compute device

A method for monitoring health of processes, the method comprising:

• determining, by a compute device, performance monitoring parameters prior to execution of a process of the compute device that is to be monitored, wherein each of the performance monitoring parameters is usable to monitor the process of the compute device and each of the performance monitoring parameters is associated with indicative of a normal operation of the particular process to be monitored;
• sampling, by the compute device, one or more hardware counters of the compute device to generate hardware counter values associated with the monitored process, wherein the hardware counter values indicate a cache misses/access ratio of the monitored process and uncore activity of the monitored process;
• and
• performing, by the compute device, a process fault check on the monitored process based on the hardware counter values and the performance monitoring parameters,
• wherein performing the process fault check comprises performing an infinite loop fault check on the monitored process, wherein performing the infinite loop fault check further comprises determining whether the cache misses/accesses ratio of the monitored process is out of a first range indicated by the performance monitoring parameters and determining whether the uncore activity of the monitored process is out of a second range indicated by the performance monitoring parameters.
