Question 1

What does the Safety Algorithm check for?

  • If all processes can start
  • If the system is in a safe state
  • If resources are enough

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the final state of process execution.

Question 2

True or False: An unsafe state guarantees that a deadlock will occur.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the difference between possibilities and guarantees.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a system with 5 total resources and three processes: Process A requires [1, 2], Process B requires [2, 0], and Process C requires [3, 2]. If current allocations are [1, 0], [1, 1], and [1, 0] respectively, show if this state is safe.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Work through each process and check if they can finish given the resources.

Question 2

Create and analyze a system with four processes needing various resources. Determine safe and unsafe states based on your configuration.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use a diagram or table to simplify resource tracking.
