Question 1

What is the main purpose of the Priority Inheritance Protocol?

  • To increase task execution time
  • To prevent priority inversion
  • To allow lower-priority tasks to block higher-priority tasks

💡 Hint: Think about the potential issues in real-time task scheduling.

Question 2

True or False: The Priority Inheritance Protocol prevents deadlocks.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Reflect on the limitations of PIP.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a real-time system where Task A (high priority) is waiting for Resource X held by Task B (low priority). Task C (medium priority) arrives and preempts Task B. Describe how PIP would resolve this priority inversion.

💡 Hint: Consider how prioritization changes affect the flow of task execution.

Question 2

Illustrate a potential scenario where chained blocking occurs due to priority inversion. What can be done in system design to prevent this issue?

💡 Hint: Think about how resource management affects priority scheduling.
