Title
Acyclic Orientations for Deadlock Prevention in Interconnection Networks (Extended Abstract)
Abstract
In this paper we extend some of the computational results presented in [6] on finding an acyclic orientation of a graph which minimizes the maximum number of changes of orientations along the paths connecting a given subset of source-destination couples. The corresponding value is called rank of the set of paths. Besides its theoretical interest, the topic has also practical applications. In fact, the existence of a rank r acyclic orientation for a graph implies the existence of a deadlock-free routing strategy for the corresponding network which uses at most r buffers per vertex.
