What is multiprogramming? what are the problems that Multiprogramming

Task 2 - Deadlocks

In lecture 6, we covered the concept of a deadlock.


Your task is to apply that concept to the following two scenarios.
In both cases, we have four cars that arrived at a four-way stop
intersection at approximately the same time
You are asked to determine whether:
1. None of the two scenarios present case of a deadlock. Justify your
answer
2. There is ONLY ONE scenario case of deadlock. If so indicate with
scenario is a case of deadlock and justify your answer.
3. Both scenarios are cases of deadlocks. Justify your answer.

Please bear in mind that:


• Car 1, traveling north, needs quadrants a and b
• Car 2, traveling west, needs quadrants b and c.
• Car 3, traveling south, needs quadrants c and d.
• Car 4, traveling east, needs quadrants d and a.
In addition, we are assuming a country where, when a car is at a four-
way stop, it should yield the right of way to a car immediately to its
right.
