Abstract: We are interested in some properties of massively parallel computers that
we model by finite automata connected together as a 2-dimensional grid.
We wonder whether it is possible to anticipate a possible appearance of
a deadlock in such nets. Thus, we look for efficient algorithms to predict
whether deadlocks can appear in grids of bounded size. From the point
of view of worst-case complexity, we prove that this problem is NPcomplete
whereas it is quadratic for linear structures. The... (Update)
