Popis: Deadlock prevention is usually realized by forbidding transmissions that could eventually cause a deadlock to occur. However, an optimal routing algorithm with respect to channel utilization forbids transmissions only when they would bring the network into a configuration that will necessarily evolve into a deadlock. Hence, optimal deadlock prevention is closely related to deadlock prediction. In this paper it is shown that wormhole deadlock and livelock prediction is a hard problem for both oblivious and adaptive routing.
