Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have four processes and three resources. Illustrate a scenario where a deadlock could occur and how you could use a Resource-Allocation Graph to identify it.
💡 Hint: Drawing a clear diagram can help you visualize the relationships.
Consider a system where multiple instances of resources exist, and you find a cycle in the Resource-Allocation Graph. Detail the steps necessary to analyze if a deadlock actually exists.
💡 Hint: Think about how one resource instance could break a waiting chain.
