Abstract: The deterministic algorithm may analyze data by defining a plurality of blocks, identify a task for each of the blocks, and identify any operations on which the task is dependent. The algorithm may store in a first data structure an entry for each of the blocks identifying whether a precondition must be satisfied before tasks associated with the blocks can be initiated, store in a second data structure a status value for each of the blocks and make the stored status values changeable by multiple threads, and assign a plurality of the tasks to a plurality of threads, wherein each thread is assigned a unique task, wherein each of the plurality of threads executes its assigned task when the status of the block corresponding to its assigned task indicates that the assigned task is ready to be performed and the precondition associated with the block has been satisfied if the precondition exists.
