Unit_4_assignment OS

The document outlines several questions related to operating systems, including the need for virtual memory, Peterson's solution for the critical section problem, and a comparison of paging versus segmentation. It also addresses deadlock conditions and presents scenarios involving resource allocation and safety algorithms for systems with multiple processes and resource types. The questions require the creation of need matrices and the determination of safe states for given system snapshots.
