Dijkstra's Bankers Algorithm

Could somebody please provide a step-through approach to solving the following problem using the Banker's Algorithm? How do I determine whether a "safe-state" exists? What is meant when a process can "run to completion"? In this example, I have four processes and 10 instances of the same resource. Resources Allocated | Resour...

Need some clarification on Bankers Algorithm

Hi, just a quick query about safe/unsafe states in Dijkstra's Banker's algorithm... If one of the processes in the snapshot of the system (for example the one below) already has all of its needs fulfilled and there are not sufficient resources available to fulfil the needs of any of the other processes, is the system in a safe state? I ...
