What is the consequence of deadlock in a computer system?
What is the consequence of deadlock in a computer system?
- Jobs get blocked from resources and prevented from execution
- Jobs are placed in the HOLD state
- All system resources become unavailable (correct)
- Infinite postponement of job
How is starvation different from deadlock?
How is starvation different from deadlock?
- Starvation is resolved via external intervention, while deadlock is resolved by infinite postponement of job
- Starvation is caused by jobs waiting for unavailable vital resources, while deadlock involves jobs waiting for resources being held by another job
- Starvation affects only a few programs, while deadlock affects the entire system (correct)
- Starvation quickly becomes critical in real-time systems, while deadlock affects more than one job
