Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Drawing a clear diagram can help you visualize the relationships.

Question 2

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how one resource instance could break a waiting chain.
