Banker’s Algorithm
• Banker’s algorithm used to avoid deadlock and allocate
resources safely to each process in the computer system.
• It is a deadlock avoidance algorithm.
• The 'S-State' examines all possible tests or activities
before deciding whether the allocation should be allowed
to each process.
• It also helps the operating system to successfully share
the resources between all the processes.
• The banker's algorithm is named because it checks
whether a person should be sanctioned a loan amount or
not to help the bank system safely simulate allocation
resources.
