Question 1: Deadlock Management

i. Describe a Safe state with an example


ii. Discus the Banker’s Algorithm and the Deadlock detection
Algorithm with an Example
iii. The Banker's algorithm is a resource allocation and deadlock
avoidance algorithm developed by Edsger Dijkstra that tests for
safety by simulating the allocation of predetermined maximum
possible amounts of all resources, and then makes a safe state
check to test for possible deadlock conditions for all other
pending activities, before deciding whether allocation should be
allowed to continue.
Using a programming language of your choice, show how this
algorithm can be implemented. Class demonstration should
show the running code.

Question 5: Structures of Operating Systems


An operating system can be implemented with the help of various
structures. The structure of the OS depends mainly on how the
various common components of the operating system are
interconnected and melded into the kernel. Depending on this, we
have to follow the structures of the operating system.
• Simple structure
• Monolithic Systems
• Layered
• Microkernel
• Exokernels
Describe these Designs or structures of the operating systems with
clear examples in each case.
