Data Structure Driven Probabilistic Deadlock Resolution in Multiprocessor Systems
Abstract: Deadlock resolution in multiprocessor systems is fundamentally a graph-theoretic and probabilistic decision problem. Existing victim selection heuristics, such as youngest, oldest, and lowest priority, apply static rules that overlook the dynamic runtime state of processes, leading to unnecessary computational loss. This paper reframes the inference-guided preemption (IGP) algorithm as a data-structure-centric solution, highlighting how resource allocation graphs, wait-for graphs, adjacency lists, min-heaps, and hash-based evidence stores interact to enable efficient …
