Module 4: Deadlocks

Consider a system with five processes P0 through P4 and have three resource types A, B, C. Resource type A has ten instances, resource type B has five instances, and resource type C has seven instances. Suppose that the following snapshot represents the current state of the system:

Allocation Max Available
A B C A B C A B C
P0 0 1 0 7 5 3 3 3 2
P1 2 0 0 3 2 2
P2 3 0 2 9 0 2
P3 2 1 1 2 2 2
P4 0 0 2 4 3 3

The system is currently in safe state. Suppose now that P1 requests additional resources as (A=1, B=0, C=2). Is this request can be immediately granted? Justify your answer.

There are 5 units of each resource type. Consider the following scenario, where the column 'alloc' denotes the number of units of each resource type allocated to each process, and the column request denotes the number of units of each resource type requested by a process in order to complete execution. Find the process that will finish first and last. | | alloc<br>X Y Z | Request<br>X Y Z | |---|---|---| | P0 | 1 2 1 | 1 0 3 | | P1 | 2 0 1 | 0 1 2 | | P2 | 2 2 1 | 1 2 0 |20227mOPERATING SYSTEMConsider a system consisting of four resources of the same type that are shared by three processes, each of which needs at most two resources.
