Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a scenario where 4 processes share 3 resources, explain how you would implement a deadlock detection mechanism.
💡 Hint: Consider how you would represent this graphically.
Suppose in a distributed environment, Process A holds Resource 1 and waits for Resource 2 held by Process B, while Process B waits for Resource 1. How would you resolve this deadlock?
💡 Hint: Think of which resource is most critical to relinquish for progress.
