Abstract

See full text

Method and system for detecting indeterminate dependencies in a distributed computing grid. A determination is made whether a deadlock situation exists within a workflow of the distributed computing grid and a user of the computing grid is notified of the deadlock situation, e.g., where in the workflow deadlock occurs. A deadlock situation can be determined based on direct and indirect dependencies, such as loops and dependencies involving a first work element and a lower level second work element. A deadlock situation can also be determined based on the relationships between a job and a task, which is executable by a processor in the distributed computing grid.
