Deadlock Detection Algorithm
Understanding and Implementation in Operating Systems
Aim
Objective
The aim is to understand, implement and analyze deadlock detection algorithm in operating system.
This experiment focuses on one of the most critical aspects of operating system design - deadlock detection and prevention. Through this virtual lab, you will gain comprehensive understanding of:
- Deadlock Fundamentals: Understanding what deadlocks are and why they occur in concurrent systems
- Detection Algorithms: Learning various algorithms used to detect deadlocks in real-time systems
- Banker's Algorithm: Implementing and analyzing the famous deadlock avoidance algorithm
- Resource Management: Understanding how operating systems manage resources to prevent deadlocks
- Practical Implementation: Hands-on experience with deadlock detection through interactive simulation
By the end of this experiment, you will be able to identify potential deadlock situations, implement detection algorithms, and understand the trade-offs between different deadlock handling strategies in modern operating systems.
