Using separate processes to handle short-lived and long-lived jobs to reduce failure of processes

A computer program product embodied in a computer readable storage medium for reducing the failure of processes, the computer program product comprising the programming instructions for:

• identifying a first job as being a short-lived job, wherein a time duration of said short-lived job to be completed is less than a first threshold period of time;
• identifying a second job being a first long-lived job, wherein a time duration of said first long-lived job to be completed is greater than said first threshold period of time;
• executing said first long-lived job on a first process;
• and
• executing said short-lived job on at least one process separated from said first process executing said first long-lived job.

A system, comprising:

• a memory unit for storing a computer program for reducing the failure of processes;
• and
• a processor coupled to said memory unit, wherein said processor, responsive to said computer program, comprises:
• circuitry for identifying a first job as being a short-lived job, wherein a time duration of said short-lived job to be completed is less than a first threshold period of time;
• circuitry for identifying a second job being a first long-lived job, wherein a time duration of said first long-lived job to be completed is greater than said first threshold period of time;
• circuitry for executing said first long-lived job on a first process;
• and
• circuitry for executing said short-lived job on at least one process separated from said first process executing said first long-lived job.
