Abstract
Embodiments provide a thread classification method that represents stack traces in a compact form using classification signatures. Some embodiments can receive a stack trace that includes a sequence of stack frames. Some embodiments may generate, based on the sequence of stack frames, a trace signature that represents the set. Some embodiments may receive one or more subsequent stack traces. For each of the one or more subsequent stack traces, some embodiments may determine whether a subsequent trace signature has been generated to represent the sequence of stack frames included within the subsequent stack trace. If not, some embodiments may generate, based on the trace signature and other subsequent trace signatures that were generated based on the trace signature, the subsequent trace signature to represent the subsequent sequence of stack frames.
