To Implement Deadlock Detection Algorithm

Pre Test

1. What is a deadlock in concurrent computing?

a) A situation where processes execute without interruption.

b) A situation where processes are in a loop.

c) A situation where processes cannot proceed because each is waiting for another to release a resource.

d) A situation where processes share resources efficiently.

2. In deadlock detection, what does a cycle in the resource allocation graph indicate?

a) Efficient resource usage.

b) A potential deadlock.

c) No deadlock.

d) High system performance.

3. Which of the following is an application of deadlock detection algorithms?

a) Single-task operating systems.

b) Database management systems.

c) Batch processing systems.

d) Graphical user interfaces.

4. What problem is solved by Dijkstra banker’s algorithm?

a) Cache coherence

b) Mutual exclusion

c) Deadlock recovery

d) Deadlock avoidance

5. Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of a deadlock detection algorithm?

a) To prevent deadlocks by carefully allocating resources.

b) To avoid deadlocks by maintaining a safe state.

c) To identify and resolve deadlocks when they occur in the system.

d) To ensure all processes have equal access to resources.
