Please answer the following Operating Systems Quetion and its two parts: Part A: The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to occur. Give an example to show that these conditions are not sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur. When are these conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur? Part B: A system has two processes and three identical resources. Each process needs a maximum of two resources. Is deadlock possible? Explain your answer.

assume a system has 6 identical resources and N processes competing for them. each process can request at most 2 resources. what is the maximum value of N for the system to be deadlock free?
There are 3 resources R1, R2 and R3 with one instance each and three processes P1, P2 and P3 in an operating system. A snapshot of the system resource allocation graph shows the following: R1 is allocated to P2; R2 is allocated to P1; R3 is allocated to P3; P1 requests R1; P2 requests R3; P3 requests R2. Which of the following is true about this system? answer ) a)Undetermined b)There is deadlock in the system c)Deadlock will never happen d)There is no deadlock in the system
Consider a system with five processes and three resource type. Resource type X has 7 instances, resource type Y has 10 instances and resource type Z has 5 instances. Suppose that at time 0, the following snapshot of the system has been taken. Is the process safe? If yes, what is the safe sequence? If not, which process is unsafe?
A deadlock occurs when a group of processes is stalled because one process is holding a resource and waiting for another process to obtain it. Consider the situation when two trains are approaching each other on the same track and there is only one track: once they are in front of each other, neither train can proceed. In operating systems, a similar scenario happens when two or more processes possess certain resources while waiting on resources owned by other processes (s). In the picture below, Process 1 is holding Resource 1 and waiting for Process 2 to acquire Resource 2, while Process 2 is waiting for Resource 1. Give an example of a realistic deadlock avoidance approach and describe the basic strategy behind it.
Hello. Please help me answer these questions. Thank you. 1) How many instances of each resource type does the system have? 2) What is the content of the matrix need? Draw the table. 3) Is the system in a safe state? Why? 4) If a request from process P1 arrives for (0,4,2, 0), can the request be granted immediately? Explain why. (Hint: Suppose the request is granted, then is the system safe? If yes, then the request can be granted immediately; else, it cannot be granted. So, for this question, you need to inspect whether the system is safe afterthe request is granted.)
4. With a single resource, deadlock occurs a. if there are more than two processes competing for that resource b. if there are only two processes competing for that resource c. if there is a single process competing for that resource d. none of these
Consider a computer system with 3 processes and one resource with 4 instances. Each process needs at most 2 resource instances. Is a deadlock possible in this system? Justify your answer.
In deadlock avoidance, using banker’s algorithm, what would be the consequence(s) of (i): A process declaring its maximum need as maximum possible for each resource. In other words, if a resource A has 5 instances, then each process declares its maximum needs as 5. (ii): A process declaring its minimum needs as maximum needs. For example, a process may need 2-5 instances of resource A. but it declares its maximum need as 2.
In the context of operating systems, a deadlock occurs when a process enters a waiting stateindefinitely because a requested resource is held by another process. Suggest THREE (3)deadlock prevention techniques and relate each of them using real-world examples.
List/explain 3 different ways that a system can recover from deadlock. Know the necessary conditions for deadlock and explanations of each. Why is it necessary to have an atomic instructions for providing access to a critical section? Consider a system with 5 processes (A, B, C, D and E) and 5 single instances of resources (Q, R, S, T, U) with given assignments (A holds R and wants T, C holds T and wants Q, etc). Construct a resource allocation graph. Determine if deadlock occurred. Draw a wait-for graph of the system. It's a C Programming
For the following short questions, provide a 3-4-line answer. The answer should be based on your analysis and critical thinking. Consider there are two set of processes Set1 has processes with longer burst times than Set2. The operating system is implementing Shortest Job First (SJF) for Scheduling. Which SJF approach is suitable for Set1 and Set2 (choose from Preemptive and Non-Preemptive). Justify your answer. If OS claims provision of protection and sharing mechanisms at the same time, do these mechanisms not violate the purpose of each other? Justify. How does disk-based queuing effect OS queue order efforts? What is the role of IO devices in process execution? What are the reasons for a process to exit from running state other than it finishes?
Consider a system with five processes and three resource type. Resource type X has 7 instances, resource type Y has 10 instances and resource type Z has 5 instances. Suppose that at time 0, the following snapshot of the system has been taken. Suppose B request 2 additional instances of resource type X and 1 instance for resource type Y, can the request be granted? Is the system safe? If yes, what is the safe sequence?
