If a cycle is being formed in a Resource allocation graph where all the resources have the single instance then the system is deadlocked. In Case of Resource allocation graph with multi-instanced resource types, Cycle is a necessary condition of deadlock but not the sufficient condition. The following example contains three processes P1, P2, P3 and three resources R2, R2, R3. All the resources are having single instances each. If we analyze the graph then we can find out that there is a cycle formed in the graph since the system is satisfying all the four conditions of deadlock. Allocation MatrixAllocation matrix can be formed by using the Resource allocation graph of a system. In Allocation matrix, an entry will be made for each of the resource assigned. For Example, in the following matrix, en entry is being made in front of P1 and below R3 since R3 is assigned to P1.
Request MatrixIn request matrix, an entry will be made for each of the resource requested. As in the following example, P1 needs R1 therefore an entry is being made in front of P1 and below R1.
Avial = (0,0,0)Neither we are having any resource available in the system nor a process going to release. Each of the process needs at least single resource to complete therefore they will continuously be holding each one of them. We cannot fulfill the demand of at least one process using the available resources therefore the system is deadlocked as determined earlier when we detected a cycle in the graph.

7.8 SummaryHow you can detect a deadlock in a single instance of each resource type?To detect deadlocks, the system needs to maintain the wait-for graph and periodically invoke an algorithm that searches for a cycle in the graph. If this graph contains one or more cycles (knots), a deadlock exists. Any process that is part of a cycle is deadlocked. If no cycles exist, the system is not deadlocked.
How to avoid deadlock in a resource allocation system with single instance of each resource type?Deadlocks can be prevented by preventing at least one of the four required conditions:. 7.4.1 Mutual Exclusion. Shared resources such as read-only files do not lead to deadlocks. ... . 2 Hold and Wait. ... . 3 No Preemption. ... . 4 Circular Wait.. How deadlock can be detected in a system?With the help of the resource allocation graph, the OS can detect deadlocks. If a cycle forms in a system with single instanced resource types, there will undoubtedly be a deadlock. Detecting a cycle, on the other hand, is insufficient in a graph of the multiple instanced resource type.
How deadlock can be detected with multiple resource of each type?The OS can detect the deadlocks with the help of Resource allocation graph. In single instanced resource types, if a cycle is being formed in the system then there will definitely be a deadlock. On the other hand, in multiple instanced resource type graph, detecting a cycle is not just enough.
