  • DEADLOCK PREVENTION:
  • Preventing deadlocks by constraining how requests for resources can be made in the system and how they are handled (system design).
  • The goal is to ensure that at least one of the necessary conditions for deadlock can never hold.
  • DEADLOCK AVOIDANCE:
    • The system dynamically considers every request and decides whether it is safe to grant it at this point,
    • The system requires additional apriori information regarding the overall potential use of each resource for each process.
    • Allows more concurrency.
