an instance of a resource is the no. of resources of a particular resource type are available.
For eg: If we say we have 5 instances of a resource printer,it simply means that there are five printers available for use.
The graph is the the actual picture that shows the resource allocation; the algorithm is the method used to produce that graph.
yes resource allocation graph have cycles without a deadlock existing.
yes,wait for graph=WFG,crazy wait!
In Wait for Graph the request edge is a directed edge Pi → Pj which indicates that process Pj is holding a resource that process Pi needs and thus Pi is waiting for Pj to release its lock on that resource. It does not have any allocation edge.In case of Resource Allocation Graph the request edge is a directed edge Pi → Rj which indicates that process Pi is requesting resource Rj. It has an allocation edge from Rj→Pk when the resource Rj is allocated to process Pk.The way the graphs are drawn are also different but both of them are used in deadlock detection.

A population graph is used to visually represent the distribution of a population based on various characteristics such as age, gender, or location. It can provide insights into population trends, demographics, and help policymakers make informed decisions related to resource allocation, healthcare, and social services.
Analyzing the Thomas Malthus graph can provide insights into the relationship between population growth and resource scarcity. The graph illustrates Malthus' theory that population tends to grow exponentially while resources grow linearly, leading to potential scarcity and challenges in sustaining the population. This analysis highlights the importance of managing population growth and resource utilization to ensure long-term sustainability.
Deadlock - Occurs when resources needed by one process are held by some other waiting process. Deadlock not only occurs in OS. Kansas state legislature in the early 20th century passed the following legislation: "When two trains approach each other at a crossing, both shall come to a full stop and neither shall start up again until the other has gone. " Assume we have the following operating system: 1. Finite number of resources to be distributed among some number of competing processes 2. Resources may be of several types and there may be several instances of each 3. When a process requests a resource any instance of that resource will satisfy the process 4. Processes can a. request a resource b. use the resource c. release the resource 5. A set of processes is in a deadlock state when every process in the set is waiting for an event that can be caused only by another process in the set. a. Same resource type - three tape drives, three processes request a tape drive then they each request another. Dining philosophers request chopsticks held by another. b. Different resource type - process A has a printer process B has a file, Each requests the other's resource. Four Necessary Conditions for Deadlock 1. Mutual exclusion: At least one resource is not sharable, i.e. can only be used by one process at a time 2. Hold and wait: A process holds at least one resource and requests resources held by other processes 3. No preemption: resource cannot be preempted, it must be voluntarily released by the process. 4. Circular wait: Given a set of processes { P1, P2, P3, …Pn} P1 has a resource needed by P2, P2 has a resource needed by P3, …, Pn has a resource needed by P1. System resource-allocation graph G = (V,E) where V is a set of vertices and E is a set of edges. The set of vertices is partitioned into Processes and Resources. A resource-allocation graph is a directed graph where an edge from process Pi to resource Ri indicates that Pi has requested Ri (request edge). An edge from Ri to Pi indicates that Ri has been allocated to Pi (assignment edge). When drawing the graph, processes are represented by circles and resources by squares. Multiple instances of a resource are represented by a dot in the square. When a process requests a resource a request edge is drawn. When the resource is allocated, the resource edge becomes an assignment edge. Resource edges points to the resource square, but assignment edges are from the dots within the square. P1P2P3R1R2R3R4Resource allocation graph, no deadlock If the graph contains no cycles, then there is no deadlock If the graph contains a cycle then a deadlock condition may exist. P1P2P3R1R2R3R4Resource allocation graph with deadlock. P1P2P4P3R1R2Resource allocation graph with cycle and no deadlock. P4 can release an instance of R2 and P3 will be assigned the resource How can we handle deadlocks? 1. Try to prevent them from happening 2. After system is deadlocked employ some mechanism to detect the deadlock and then recover from deadlock. 3. Ignore the problem, theoretically rare, and pretend deadlocks never occur (UNIX) Since deadlocks are infrequent this may be cheaper alternative Deadlock Prevention - Make sure one of the 4 necessary conditions for deadlock doesn't hold. 1. Mutual Exclusion - some resources are sharable. Some cannot be shared or be made sharable. A printer can be used by only one process at a time. 2. Hold and Wait - Whenever a process requests one resource make sure it is not holding another resource. · method 1 - request all resources before it begins execution, · method 2 - request resources only when process has none, it may request some resources, use them and then release all resources. · Downside - method 1 - assume process needs to copy file from tape to disk and then print. It will be holding printer entire time even though it needs it only at the end. · Downside method 2 - process can request tape and disk, release these and then request printer. Only if file remains on disk!! No guarantee. · Poor resource utilization, chance of starvation 3. No Preemption- · method 1 - process holds resources and needs another resource that is not in use. Process must release all resources, then waits on released resources in addition to the needed one · method 2 - check if resources are available when requested, if so allocate them. If not check if they are allocated to another process that is waiting for resources. If so, preempt the desired resources from the waiting process and allocate them to the requesting process. If the requested resource is not available, then the process waits. It can then be preempted by another process in the same way. 4. Circular Wait · Place an ordering on the resource types. Processes have to request resources in increasing order of numbering · Alternately, when a process requests a resource of a lower number, resources of higher number are deallocated. deadlock prevention can have the side effect of reduced system throughput and low device utilization. Deadlock Avoidance Processes declare in advance what its maximum resource usage will be. Use this a priori information about a process' resource needs to make sure a system never enters deadlock. (deadlock avoidance approach) Dynamically makes sure that the circular wait conditions doesn't exist. Def. A system is in a safe state if it can allocate resources to each process, in some order and avoid deadlock. A system is a safe system if there exists a safe sequence. A sequence of processes is a safe sequence for the current allocation state if for each Pi, the resources that Pi can still request can be satisfied by the currently available resources plus the resources held by all the Pj, with j satisfies the safety condition. If we are in the above state and grant P2 1 more tape drive the system is no longer safe. Resource-Allocation Graph Algorithm Used only when there is one instance of each resource. Request edges, assignment edges, new edge called claim edge. Claim edge from process to resource indicate process may request that resource some time in the future. Represented by a dashed arrow. Direction is the same as a request edge. When process requests resource, claim edge becomes request edge. When process releases a resource, assignment edge becomes claim edge. P1P2R1R22 If a process requests a resource, the request can be granted only if converting the request edge to an assignment edge does not result in a cycle in the graph. Safe, but if P2 were to request R2 then we would not be in a safe state Banker's Algorithm Used for multiple resource instances. 1. Processes must declare maximum instances of each resource that it will need. Number can't exceed the total number of resources in the system 2. Process will be allocated resources only if this results in a safe state. Otherwise process waits until some other process releases resources. Given two vectors (arrays), X and Y of length n, X
Analyzing the Malthus graph can provide insights into the relationship between population growth and resource availability. The graph shows that while population tends to grow exponentially, resources increase at a slower, linear rate. This suggests that if population growth continues unchecked, it may outpace the availability of resources, leading to potential scarcity and challenges in sustaining the population.
The Malthusian theory graph illustrates that population growth tends to outpace the availability of resources, leading to potential scarcity and challenges in sustaining the population.
