Abstract This paper describes an implementation and performance evaluation of different deadlock prevention algorithms. A deadlock prevention algorithm ensures that deadlock will never happen. The algorithms for deadlock prevention are proposed and implemented in a locally distributed system. A number of experiments were executed in a distributed system for various lengths of file operation and different numbers of files. The performance of the system and of each algorithm is evaluated and discussed. Some general results are derived for a single‐host and a distributed system.
