mutual waiting in computing
A computer problem where programs or tasks wait for each other and none can continue.
Mẫu sử dụng:

|
lockup (Broader and less precise; describes a system that stops responding.)
|
hang (Broader; describes software becoming unresponsive, not necessarily because of deadlock.)

enter computing deadlock
If computer tasks deadlock, they stop because each one is waiting for another.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[threads/processes] deadlock; [code/a transaction] deadlocks [a system]

Do not use the technical verb deadlock for every software failure; a program can freeze for many reasons besides deadlocking.

hang (Broader; means become unresponsive for any reason.)
|
block (Means wait for something; may be temporary and not a true deadlock.)
|
lock up (Less formal; describes a system becoming stuck.)

|
