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.
