The banker's algorithm is a resource allocation and deadlock avoidance algorithm that tests for safety by simulating the allocation for predetermined maximum possible amounts of all resources.
VisualizationThis algorithm helps in visualizing resource allocation and potential deadlocks using graph theory, where processes and resources are represented as nodes.
VisualizationMutex (Mutual Exclusion) synchronizes access to a resource. Only one thread can acquire the Mutex at a time, preventing race conditions in critical sections.
VisualizationThe producer-consumer problem involves synchronizing processes to avoid race conditions and ensure correct communication via a shared buffer.
VisualizationPeterson's algorithm is used for mutual exclusion in concurrent programming. It allows two processes to share a resource without conflict using shared memory.
VisualizationDeadlock happens only when four necessary conditions occur simultaneously. To prevent a deadlock, the OS must eliminate at least one of these conditions.
