    occurrence of deadlock in distributed system. P 1 initiates deadlock detection. C 1 sends the probe saying P 2 depends on P 3. Once the message is received by C 2, it checks whether P 3 is idle. P 3 is idle because it is locally dependent on P 4 and updates dependent 3 (2) to True. As above, C 2 sends probe to C 3 and C 3 sends probe to C 1.

  3. Wait-for graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait-For_Graph

    A wait-for graph in computer science is a directed graph used for deadlock detection in operating systems and relational database systems.. In computer science, a system that allows concurrent operation of multiple processes and locking of resources and which does not provide mechanisms to avoid or prevent deadlock must support a mechanism to detect deadlocks and an algorithm for recovering ...

  4. Deadlock prevention algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock_prevention_algorithms

    In computer science, deadlock prevention algorithms are used in concurrent programming when multiple processes must acquire more than one shared resource.If two or more concurrent processes obtain multiple resources indiscriminately, a situation can occur where each process has a resource needed by another process.

  5. Ostrich algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrich_algorithm

    This approach may be used in dealing with deadlocks in concurrent programming if they are believed to be very rare and the cost of detection or prevention is high. A set of processes is deadlocked if each process in the set is waiting for an event that only another process in the set can cause.

  6. Banker's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banker's_algorithm

    Banker's algorithm is a resource allocation and deadlock avoidance algorithm developed by Edsger Dijkstra that tests for safety by simulating the allocation of predetermined maximum possible amounts of all resources, and then makes an "s-state" check to test for possible deadlock conditions for all other pending activities, before deciding whether allocation should be allowed to continue.

  7. Deadlock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock_(computer_science)

    Phantom deadlocks are deadlocks that are falsely detected in a distributed system due to system internal delays but do not actually exist. For example, if a process releases a resource R1 and issues a request for R2 , and the first message is lost or delayed, a coordinator (detector of deadlocks) could falsely conclude a deadlock (if the ...

  8. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    Careless use of locks can result in deadlock or livelock. A number of strategies can be used to avoid or recover from deadlocks or livelocks, both at design-time and at run-time. (The most common strategy is to standardize the lock acquisition sequences so that combinations of inter-dependent locks are always acquired in a specifically defined ...

  9. Thread safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_safety

    However, deadlock-free guarantees cannot always be given, since deadlocks can be caused by callbacks and violation of architectural layering independent of the library itself. Software libraries can provide certain thread-safety guarantees. [5] For example, concurrent reads might be guaranteed to be thread-safe, but concurrent writes might not be.
