Explanation of Solution

Deadlock:

Deadlock is the process in which two or more transactions wait infinitely for the other transaction that release the locked data item. Consider the following example:

Example:

  • Transaction “T1” wants to access data items “X” and “Y” and transaction “T2” wants to access data items “Y” and “X”.
  • If the transaction “T1” locks the data item “Y”, the transaction “T2” cannot starts its process.
  • If the transaction “T2” locks the data item “X”, the transaction “T1” cannot continue its process.

The transaction waits for each other to unlock the data item. It is otherwise called as “deadly embrace”.

To avoid the deadlock in transactions, use the strategies of deadlock avoidance, deadlock prevention and deadlock detection.

Deadlock avoidance:

Deadlock avoidance is the process that obtains all the locks before the transaction executed. This process used to increase the response time of the transaction...

Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York.  Each flight requires two pilots.  Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines).  The average profit per flight is $6000.  Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots.  Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick.  Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15.  A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…
