The techniques include detecting a first request to allocate first registers for a first wavefront; first determining, based on allocation information, that allocating the first registers to the first wavefront would result in a condition in which a deadlock is possible; in response to the first determining, refraining from allocating the first registers to the first wavefront; detecting a second request to allocate second registers for a second wavefront; second determining, based on the allocation information, that allocating the second registers to the second wavefront would result in a condition in which deadlock is not possible; and in response to the second determining, allocating the second registers to the second wavefront.
