Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a graphical tool called Prograph which enables users to model and analyze operating systems process-resource graphs. The Prograph program enables users to model operating system Process-Resource graphs rapidly, analyze the graphs, and then view the different stages of the deadlock analysis. The deadlock representation and analysis tool Prograph was prototypically evaluated by the students in the graduate level Operating Systems class as well as a number of graduate students at the Computer Science Department of Oklahoma State University. The feedback obtained from the users of the Prograph program indicated that it was functional and useful for modeling and analyzing Process-Resource graphs.
