Consider a computer environment in which there are 4 magnetic drives, 2 printers, 3 scanners, and 1 optical drive. Three processes P1, P2, P3 are using these resources. At any point in time, the allocations and requests for these resources are as follows. Allocations: Magnetic drive Printen Scanner Optical drive P1 P2 P3 1 2 Requests: Printer Scanner Magnetic drive 2 Optical drive P1 P2 P3 1 To 2 1 Is there any way that the processes can complete without deadlock? If yes, explain how. If not, explain why not.

Consider a computer system with three users: Alice, Bob, and Cindy. Alice owns file X, and Bob and Cindy can read it. Bob owns file Y, and Cindy can read and write the file Y, but Alice can only read it. Cindy owns file Z, but neither Alice nor Bob can read or write it. If a user owns a file, he/she can also execute the file. Create the ACM (access control matrix) of the system Show the ACL and CL of the ACM Now Cindy allows Alice to read Z, Alice removes Bob's ability to read X, and Bob removes all the rights of Alice and Cindy to Y. Show the ACM after these changes.
Consider a system consisting of 5 processes, P = {P1, P2, P3, P4, P5} and 3 resources types, R = {R1, R2, R3}. The number of instances for each resource type are 2, 2 and 1 respectively. The state of the system at time, it is described as follow: P1 requests an instance of R2 P2 requests an instance of R1 P3 requests an instance of R2 and holds an instance of R1 and an instance of R3 P4 requests an instance of R3 P5 holds all instances of R2 Assuming that all resources are non-sharable, construct a Resource Allocation Graph to depict the process state.
Consider a memory system which only allows you to do sequential search. For example a read/write tapedrive. If you want to look for a file you have to search sequentially looking at the first file, then the secondfile and so on until you find the file. A reasonable strategy would be place the most recently retrieved fileat the front (imagine that the tape system can magically do this). This way the files that are accessed moreoften will be ”at the front” and require less searching time in the long run. Consider the case with only 3files A, B, and C.1. Let Xn denote the sequence of the memory system after the nth search. For example, if the files wereordered A and then B followed by C, then X0 = ABC. Enumerate the state space.2. If X0 = ABC, list all possible states of X1.3. If pA, pB, and pC = 1 − pA − pB are the probabilities with which files A, B, and C are accessed,respectively, determine the one-step state transition matrix.4. If pA = 0.6, pB = 0.10, pC = 0.3, determine the steady…
Consider a computer system which has four identical units of a resource R. There are three processes each with a maximum claim of two units of resource R. Processes can request these resources in any way that is, two in one shot or one by one. The system always satisfies a request for a resource if enough resources are available. If the processes don't request any other kind of resource, show that the system never deadlocks?
Suppose your system has a memory of size 100 MB using contiguous memory allocations and there are 4 fixed size partitions. Partition one of size 50, partition 2 of size 200, partition 3 of size 100 and partition 4 of size 150 Consider First 5 letters of your name. The ASCII code of the letters is the size of process and the alphabet is the name of process. The processes appear in alphabetical order. Q= How many processes will be loaded in the memory at a time? For contiguous memory allocation show the algorithms used to allocate memory partitions to each process and state which algorithm will work best and why? Also state the amount of internal and external fragmentation for the processes and partitions after allocation NOTE :MY NAME IS ALIZAHID
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.
Consider a computer system with three users: Alice, Bob, and Cyndy. Alice owns the file alicerc, and Bob and Cyndy can read it. Cyndy can read and write the file bobrc, which Bob owns, but Alice can only read it. Only Cyndy can read and write the file cyndyrc, which she owns. Assume that the owner of each of these files can execute it. Create the corresponding access control matrix. Cyndy gives Alice permission to read cyndyrc, and Alice removes Bob's ability to read alicerc. Show the new access control matrix
Draw a resource allocation graph for the following processes and resources. There are four processes running (P1, P2, P3 and P4) and four resources each with single instance (R1, R2, R3 and R4). P1 is holding R4 and requesting R2. P2 is holding R3 and requesting R4. P3 is holding R2 and requesting R1. P4 is holing R1. Is it a deadlock situation?
Write a C program to simulate producer-consumer problem using semaphores. TASK: DESCRIPTION Producer-consumer problem, is a common paradigm for cooperating processes. A producer process produces information that is consumed by a consumer process. One solution to the producer-consumer problem uses shared memory. To allow producer and consumer processes to run concurrently, there must be available a buffer of items that can be filled by the producer and emptied by the consumer. This buffer will reside in a region of memory that is shared by the producer and consumer processes. A producer can produce one item while the consumer is consuming another item. The producer and consumer must be synchronized, so that the consumer does not try to consume an item that has not yet been produced.
Suppose a system has 5 processes, P = {P1, P2, P3, P4, P5}, and 4 resources, R = {R1, R2, R3, R4}, where there are 2 instances of R1, 1 instance of R2, 3 instances of R3, and 3 instances of R4. The current state of the system is defined by the following requests and assignments: P1 is requesting an instance of R3 and has been assigned an instance of R2; P2 is requesting an instance of R1 and has been assigned an instance of R3; P3 is requesting an instance of R4 and has been assigned an instance of R1 and an instance of R3; P4 is requesting an instance of R3; P5 is requesting an instance of R2 and has been assigned an instance of R4. Is there deadlock in this system? (Explicitly state yes, there’s deadlock or no, there isn’t.) If applicable, draw a wait-for graph or resource-allocation graph, and use the appropriate graph to justify your answer. If you conclude there is no deadlock, your justification should contain a sequence of execution for the processes which shows that…
An operating system has 3 user processes running in a set, each requiring 2 units of resource R. The minimum number of units of R such that no deadlocks will ever arise is:
Hey, I have already received a good answer to this question but I am looking for greater detail to be provided. There are three processes P1, P2 and P3 are running in a system with 3 instances of a resource R1, 2 instances of a resource R2, and 2 instances of a resource R3. At a given time the allocation matrix is: A = [{1, 1, 1} { 0, 1, 0} { 1, 0, 0 }] Assume that the maximum matrix is M = [ {2,2,1} {1,1,1} {3,1,0}] While in this state, a new process P4 is created which requires at most 2 instances of R1 and one instance of R2. This process initially requests one instance of R1 to be allocated to it. Using the Banker’s algorithm, determine whether this request can be granted or must be refused.
