Title: A VLSI structure for the deadlock avoidance problem

Journal Article · · J. Parallel Distrib. Comput.; (United States)

In this paper the authors present two VLSI structures implementing the banker's algorithm for the deadlock avoidance problem, and we derive the area x (time)/sup 2/ lower bound for such an algorithm. The first structure is based on the VLSI mesh of trees. The second structure is a modification of the first one, and it approaches more closely the theoretical lower bound.
