PUBLICATION/THESIS

GP-DDA: A New GPU-Based Deadlock Detection Algorithm for Multi-Unit Resource Systems, IEEE Computer Architecture Letters

A novel deadlock detection algorithm for multi-unit resource systems is developed and implemented using GPUs. Tasks included adapting the CUDA architecture and programming concepts. An optimized CUDA C code for GP-DDA is implemented on a heterogeneous CPU-GPU system, where the CPU captures the information of the events occurring in the OS and the GPU performs the computations to the check the deadlock condition in the system. Using GP-DDA, deadlock state in a system can be identified at instant time.
