It is a deadlock avoidance strategy utilized to check where whether the given state of the system having certain maximum request and availability of the resources is safe or if it can lead to a deadlock;
For the Banker's algorithm to work, it needs to know three things:
For the Banker's algorithm to work, it needs to know three things:
- Maximum no. of instances a process is allowed to hold [MAX]
- Resources each process is currently holding[ALLOCATED]
- Resources currently available in the system [AVAILABLE]
if REQUEST are given then MAX=allocated+request;
From these [NEED] of each process is calculated.
need=max-allocated
Resources are allocated to a process if :
- need≤ available
