Message-ID: <6776@darkstar.ucsc.edu> Date: 10 Sep 90 16:47:55 GMT Sender: usenet@darkstar.ucsc.edu Organization: Southwestern Bell Lines: 10 Approved: comp-os-research@jupiter.ucsc.edu I'm looking for references to algorithms for finding cycles in directed graphs. I'm going to implement a deadlock detection routine, and since this is a first for me, I want to sample some of the writings on the subject. Although initially I don't intend to differentiate read locks from write locks (for the purpose of simplifying the deadlock detection), I would be interested in also reading about those algorithms as well. Thanks in advance. -- cunetto@swbatl.sbc.com: Phillip Cunetto
