A paper by Colin Wilcock (formerly of ukc) based on slides of a talk given by Peter Welch at Transputing '91 on designing deadlock free programs. ABSTRACT: In this paper we will attempt to classify and describe the different types of deadlock encountered in parallel programming. We will then go on to derive some general design guide-lines for avoidance of these deadlock problems. These design guide-lines will then be demonstrated by considering the design of the occam X server.
