When using threads, the entire point of a reader/writer problem is to avoid deadlock and starvation. The only way to avoid deadlock or starvation without the use of semaphores is for there to be only one possible process that could run, that is one reader and one writer only.

Can deadlock be resolved without selecting a victim?

Yes, deadlock can be resolved by avoiding the conditions that lead to it, breaking the circular wait, or using deadlock prevention techniques like resource allocation graph, timeouts, or priority-based techniques. In some cases, deadlock can also be prevented by ensuring a single thread holds all resources simultaneously or by using a deadlock detection algorithm to preemptively handle it.


What is dining philosphor problem?

The dining philosophers problem is a classic synchronization problem in computer science where a group of philosophers sit at a dining table with a fork between each pair of adjacent philosophers. They alternate between thinking and eating, but to eat, a philosopher must have both forks. If multiple philosophers try to pick up their left fork simultaneously, they can create a deadlock. The challenge is to design a solution that ensures all philosophers get to eat without causing deadlock.

What is reader writer problem?

The reader-writer problem is a synchronization issue that arises in concurrent programming. It involves multiple threads accessing a shared resource; readers can access the resource simultaneously without interfering with each other, while writers need exclusive access to the resource to maintain consistency. Implementing a solution involves ensuring that readers and writers coordinate access appropriately to avoid conflicts and maintain data integrity.
