Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider the following system with three processes (P1, P2, P3) and resources of A, B, C. Given their Max and Allocation matrices, demonstrate how you would apply the Banker's Algorithm to check for safety after P1 requests an additional resource. Include the updated matrices.
💡 Hint: Map out the matrices and visualize resource flows.
Analyze a scenario in a production line where Machines A, B, and C represent resources. Each machine may halt production due to resource request conflicts—how could you employ the Banker's Algorithm to eliminate this issue? Propose a practical implementation.
💡 Hint: Think about the production schedule and timing for requests.
