Lazy Parallel Kronecker Algebra-Operations on Heterogeneous Multicores

Kronecker algebra is a matrix calculus which allows the generation of thread interleavings from the source-code of a program. Thread interleavings have been shown effective for proving the absence of deadlocks. Because the number of interleavings grows exponentially in the number of threads, deadlock analysis is still a challenging problem.
