Bankers Algorithm

This is a a multi-threaded, command-line/CLI based program that implements the banker's algorithm.

Motivation

The Motivation for the assignment comes from the course requirments of CP383: Operating Systems

Features

This program implements the Banker's Algorithm and allows a Customer to request and release resources from the bank. The banker will grant a request if it satsfies the safety algorithm.

Tests

EX:

./main 10 5 7 8

rq 0 1 0 0 1

rq 1 1 1 1 1

rq 2 2 2 2 2

rq 3 1 1 1 1

rq 4 1 0 0 0

run

Code Examples

EX:

rq: request resource

rl: release resource

status: see the current status of the bank

exit: exit the program
