deadlock

(parallel, programming)A situation where two or moreprocesses are unable to proceed because each is waiting forone of the others to do something.

A common example is a program waiting for output from a serverwhile the server is waiting for more input from thecontrolling program before outputting anything. It isreported that this particular flavour of deadlock is sometimescalled a "starvation deadlock", though the term "starvation"is more properly used for situations where a program can neverrun simply because it never gets high enough priority.

Another common flavour is "constipation", in which eachprocess is trying to send stuff to the other but all buffersare full because nobody is reading anything). See deadly embrace.

Another example, common in database programming, is twoprocesses that are sharing some resource (e.g. read access toa table) but then both decide to wait for exclusive(e.g. write) access.

The term "deadly embrace" is mostly synonymous, though usuallyused only when exactly two processes are involved. This isthe more popular term in Europe, while deadlock predominatesin the United States.

Compare: livelock. See also safety property, liveness property.
