Algorithm of Static Deadlock Detection in MPI Synchronization Communication Sequential Model (0709.3693v1)

Abstract: Detecting deadlocks in MPI synchronization communication programs is very difficult and need building program models. All complex models are based on sequential models. The sequential model is mapped into a set of character strings and its deadlock detection problem is translated into an equivalent multi-queue string matching problem. An algorithm is devised and implemented to statically detect deadlocks in sequential models of MPI synchronization communication programs. The time and space complexity of the algorithm is O(n) where n is the amount of message in model. The algorithm is better than usual circle-detection methods and can adapt well to dynamic message stream.
