PC HARDWARE AND OS ARCHITECTURE3What is operating system?The operating system can be considered as a program which directly manages thecomputer resources especially the concept of the allocation of the resources among differentother computers. Typically the concept of resources may include the computer memory,central processing unit and the file storage. The topic which is selected related to the operating system for the aspect of discussionin the report is the Deadlock situation which is faced within the concept of the operatingsystemDeadlockA deadlock can be considered as a situation in which two programs of the computerdirectly shares the same resources which are actively preventing each other from accessingthat particular resources which result in ceasing of the function. It can be stated here thatearlier the operating system used to run only on one program at a particular time. All theresources were available to that particular program. Later on multiple program were executedat one time interleaving them. In this concept the programs had to request for the resourceswhich they would be using in order to complete their execution. In that particular time if theresources were not available or used by some other program it would lead to a situationwhich is known as deadlock (Bloom et al.)Definition: Deadlock are a set of processes which hold a particular resource and waiting toacquire another resource at the same time. The resource which is requested are obtainedaccess by another program.
