Synopsis
This book investigates the parallel complexity of deadlock detection in systems where multiple shared resources are accessed by several processes, each controlling exclusive resource units. The author examines the possibility of creating parallel algorithms to detect deadlocks in such systems, despite similar graph problems having efficient parallel solutions. Through a series of theorems and proofs, the author demonstrates that the general deadlock detection problem is complete in polynomial time under log-space reductions. However, the author also finds that when the problem is restricted (e.g., single-unit requests or single-unit resources), it can be solved efficiently in parallel. The book concludes that while general deadlock detection may not be efficiently parallelizable, restricted versions are, providing valuable insights for designing parallel operating systems.
