/*
 * Models the Pathfinder scheduling algorithm and explains the
 * cause of the recurring reset problem during the mission on Mars
 *
 * there is a high priority process, that consumes
 * data produced by a low priority process.
 * data consumption and production happens under
 * the protection of a mutex lock
 * the mutex lock conflicts with the scheduling priorities
 * which can deadlock the system if high() starts up
 * while low() has the lock set
 * there are 12 reachable states in the full (non-reduced)
 * state space -- two of which are deadlock states
 * partial order reduction cannot be used here because of
 * the 'provided' clause that models the process priorities
