Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.30HW
A.
Program Plan Intro
Deadlocks:
- The deadlock denotes a situation where a collection of threads remains blocked.
- It denotes waiting for a condition that would never be true.
- The progress graph denotes invaluable tool for understanding deadlock.
- If “P” and “V” operations are been ordered incorrectly, the forbidden regions for two semaphores would overlap.
- If any execution trajectory reaches deadlock state “d” then no further progress will be possible.
- In this case each thread waits for the other one for a “V” operation that never occurs.
- The overlapping forbidden regions would induce a set of states called “deadlock region”.
- The deadlock is inevitable is trajectory touches a state in deadlock region.
- Once it enters deadlock regions, the trajectories could never leave.
Mutex lock ordering rule:
- A program is deadlock-free if each thread acquires its mutexes in order.
- It releases them in reverse order and given a total ordering for all mutexes.
- The mutex should be achieved in order to ensure deadlock free scheme.

For numbers 0 – 9, the output will be the characters '0' – '9', for numbers 10 – 15 the characters 'A' – 'F'. The entire core of the program must be written in symbolic instruction language; arrays may not be used. You may only use C to print the result. Tip: This piece of C program will do the same thing: character = number < 10 ? number + '0' : number + 55; As a basis, you can use this program again , which increments a variable. Just replace the INC instruction with ADD and add a test (CMP) with some conditional jump.arrow_forward
