Lab6.2-Deadlocks Bankers Algorithm
Q1) Given the following state for the Banker’s Algorithm. Suppose we have 3 resources (R1-
3) and 3 processes (P1-3).
R1 = Scanner
R2 = Printer
R3 = CD
Given available vector R1=2, R2 = 1, R3 = 2 Then we have the following situation:
• Snapshot at time T0:
R1 R2 R3 R1 R2 R3
P1 0 2 0 6 5 1
P2 1 2 1 3 2 2
P3 3 0 3 5 2 3
c) Is the system in a safe state? If so, show one sequence of processes which allows the
system to complete. If not, explain why. Show your computation step-by-step.
d) Process P1 request (1,1,3). Should this request be granted? Why or why not? Show your
computation step by step
Q2) Given the following state for the Banker’s Algorithm. Suppose we have 3 resources (R1-
3) and 3 processes (P1-3).
Maximum resources R1=4, R2=5, R3=6. Then we have the following situation:
• Snapshot at time T0:
Current Allocation Request
R1 R2 R3 R1 R2 R3
P1 1 1 3 0 4 3
P2 2 1 0 1 1 1
P3 0 1 1 0 1 0
c) Is the system in a safe state? If so, show one sequence of processes which allows
the system to complete. If not, explain why. Show your computation step-by-step.
d) P1 need 2 more R2. Should this request be granted? Why or why not? Show your
computation step by step
Q3) A system has three processes (P1, P2, P3) and three reusable resources (R1, R2, R3).
There is one instance of R1, two instances of R2 and three instances of R3. P1 holds an R1
and an R3 and is requesting an R2. P2 holds an R3 and is requesting an R1 and an R2. P3
holds two R2 and an R3 and is requesting an R1.
Q3)
A system has four processes and five allocatable resources. The current allocation
and maximum needs are as follows:
What is the smallest value of x for which this is a safe state?
