Consider a system where processes have varying priority levels. Analyze how applying both Hold and Wait prevention strategies might affect processes with critical timelines versus regular tasks.
💡 Hint: Think about how priorities affect resource requests and process scheduling.
Suppose a process adopts the release-all-before-requesting-new strategy but fails to save its state before releasing resources. What impact could this have on process continuity and system performance?
💡 Hint: Consider the implications of data continuity and the complexity of execution.
