Abstract

According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for dynamically timing out a first process within a plurality of suspended processes is provided. The method may include determining that a second process is attempting to suspend. The method may also include determining if a number of suspended processes plus one is less than a threshold value. The method may then include selecting the first process within the plurality of suspended processes to prematurely time out based on determining that the number of suspended processes plus one is not less than the threshold value. The method may further include timing out the selected first process. The method may also include suspending the second process.
