Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how processes wait for resources held by each other.

Question 2

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

πŸ’‘ Hint: Plan a mechanism to track a process's wait history.
