Question

Q1.(4 points) A system has a total of 8 resources of a particular type. There are 4 processes running with their maximum resources needs and current allocation of resources as shown below

Process                Max need                  Current allocation                                 

P1                                3                                     1

P2                                2                                     1

P3                                5                                     2

P4                                6                                     2

Specify all the safe sequence from the state shown above

Answer:

b) If P4 wereto request 1 resource, should the request be granted? (Yes or No)

If yes –then indicate a safe sequence from the resulting state:

Answer:

If No –then indicate the sequence of steps that would lead to a deadlock

Answer:

Explanation / Answer

a)

The safe sequence is the order of resource allocation for which all the processes can successfully complete their execution.

For the given system, there are 2 free resources that can be allocated to the processes.

Therefore, the safe sequences for the given states are as follows:

Explanation:

The sequence of resource allocation given above is as follows:

The sequence of resource allocation given above is as follows:

b)

The states of the resources after allocating 1 more resource to the process P4 is as follows:

Process                Max need                  Current allocation                                 

P1                                3                                     1

P2                                2                                     1

P3                                5                                     2

P4                                6                                     3

Now, there is only 1 free resource available.

Yes, 1 more resource can be allocated to the process P4. The safe sequences for this scenario are as follows:

Explanation:

The sequence of resource allocation given above is as follows:
