ABSTRACT:
A system and method for detecting phases in a running computer program, creates an activation count associated with each stack frame. The activation count is zeroed whenever a new frame is created in a stack and incremented for each frame encountered during periodic intervals. A phase is detected with an activation whose activation count is non-zero.
