Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods that enable resolving deadlock cycles by victim selection based on cost and/or priority of strongly connected components in a static wait-for graph. As such, victims can be selected by iteratively estimating total deadlock resolution cost (based on cost of strongly connected components) for remaining deadlock participants, selecting the participant with the least estimated total cost as the next victim, and reducing the wait-for graph after removing the victim vertex. The victim selection algorithm can be a cost-based greedy algorithm, wherein during each victim selection iteration, a single optimal victim is selected based on estimated remaining cost.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer implemented system for efficiently resolving deadlocks between two computing threads in computer transaction processing, the system comprising: at least one processor and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by the at least one processor, a graph transformation component configured to create a strongly connected component (SCC) from a wait-for graph associated with deadlocks between two computing threads…
