Dead lock

 


  • Dead locks

      Every process needs some resources to complete its execution. However, the resource is              granted in a sequential order.

    1. The process requests for some resource.
    2. OS grant the resource if it is available otherwise let the process waits.
    3. The process uses it and release on the completion.
A Deadlock is a situation where each of the computer process waits for a resource which is being assigned to some another process. In this situation, none of the process gets executed since the resource it needs, is held by some other process which is also waiting for some other resource to be released.
