I run SQL profiling to capture several messages like below

Parallel query worker thread was involved in a deadlock

Once this error popped in profiling, it follows this patten

Parallel query worker thread was involved in a deadlock
insert into ......(different)
update.... from....(same1)
update.... from....(same1)
insert into ...... ( different )
select ....(different)
update.... from....(same2)
update.... from....(same2)

I don't understand this patten and error message. It seems the same update query run twice causing the deadlock, is it correct?

Can someone give me more inside for this happening?

I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying, but if you are saying threads from a parallel query are deadlocking, then that is almost certainly a bug. Use MAXDOP=1 query hint.
