An algorithm designed to detect starvation by tracking how long each job has been waiting for resources is using the concept of ____.
A) deadlock
B) aging
C) preemption
D) round robin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The algorithm described is using the concept of aging, which involves increasing the priority of a process or job as it waits, in order to prevent it from starving. Deadlock refers to a situation where multiple processes are waiting for the same resources and cannot proceed, preemption involves forcibly removing resources from a running process to give to another, and round robin is a scheduling algorithm in which processes are executed in a rotating fashion.
