Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a system with 3 processes and 2 resources. Draw a Resource-Allocation Graph showing how a deadlock can occur and explain the steps to detect it.

💡 Hint: Think about how processes wait for resources held by each other.

Challenge 2 Hard

Develop a scenario where resource preemption is beneficial and explain how you would implement it without causing starvation.

💡 Hint: Plan a mechanism to track a process's wait history.
