MOSS Deadlock Simulator

Lab Work 2

1. Try running the deadlock simulator using the following command:

   java deadlock a 2 2

   Explain why a deadlock does not occur.

2. There are two additional process command files ("b0.dat" and "b1.dat") in the distribution. Run the deadlock simulator with this command:

   java deadlock b 2 1 1

   What happens?

   Now try this.

   java deadlock b 2 1 2

   Why does the first command result in a deadlock but the second does not? Explain your answer in terms of what is going on in the process command files, b0.dat and b1.dat.
