0:00 – 2:00 00:00-02:00
The session begins with a deadlock prevention problem from ISRO-2014. The instructor presents a question asking for the minimum resources to prevent deadlock among three processes with maximum demands of 3, 4, and 5. She writes the formula D < #P + #Y on the screen to represent the condition where total demand is less than processes plus one extra resource. The calculation 2+4+5 < 3 + Y is performed, leading to the inequality 9 < Y. The instructor concludes that option (D) 10 is the correct answer, ensuring at least one process can complete and release resources.
2:00 – 5:00 02:00-05:00
The instructor continues with the deadlock problem, emphasizing the worst-case scenario where each process holds (max_demand - 1) resources. She underlines key terms like 'minimum number of resources' and 'deadlock will never occur'. The formula Total Resources > Sum(max_demand_i - 1) is applied. She calculates the sum of demands minus one for each process: (3-1) + (4-1) + (5-1) = 2+4+5. The instructor explains that adding one more resource to this sum ensures a process can finish, verifying option (D) 10 as the correct answer for preventing deadlock.
5:00 – 10:00 05:00-10:00
The lecture transitions to a Banker's Algorithm problem from ISRO-2013 involving two resource types. The instructor calculates available resources by subtracting used instances from the maximum system capacity (5 for Type 1 and 4 for Type 2). She constructs a 'Need' matrix by subtracting 'Used' from 'Max' for each process (P1, P2, P3). The visible table shows Process Used Max values. She analyzes the system state to predict if it is safe or unsafe, highlighting the importance of checking if Need <= Available for any process to proceed.
10:00 – 15:00 10:00-15:00
The instructor explains the Safety Algorithm steps, initializing Work and Finish vectors. She details the iterative check where Need <= Work allows a process to complete, updating Work = Work + Allocation. The lecture transitions to a numerical problem with four processes (P1-P4) and resource allocation tables. Handwritten notes illustrate available resources updating as processes complete, showing calculations like '3 + 2 = 5 Available'. The instructor marks the safe sequence (P4, P1, P3, P2) and highlights key algorithm steps in red and yellow on the screen.
15:00 – 20:00 15:00-20:00
The session reviews multiple ISRO questions, including Dijkstra's Banker's algorithm for deadlock avoidance from 2017. The instructor analyzes a memory allocation problem from ISRO-2018 involving job arrivals and finishes. She draws diagrams to compare First Fit and Best Fit algorithms, calculating remaining memory blocks (e.g., 500 - 350 = 150). The instructor underlines 'deadlock occurrence' in a question text and marks correct options with checkmarks, actively annotating the screen to explain memory allocation strategies.
20:00 – 25:00 20:00-25:00

She distinguishes between internal and external fragmentation while comparing First Fit vs Best Fit performance.
25:00 – 30:00 25:00-30:00

The second question addresses process protection mechanisms against modification. The third problem calculates physical address space size based on page table entries and page size, drawing diagrams to visualize page tables.
30:00 – 35:00 30:00-35:00
The instructor solves a problem regarding physical address space size in a paging system. The question specifies a page table with 64 entries of 11 bits each and a page size of 512 bytes. She breaks down the logical address into page number (6 bits) and offset (9 bits). The instructor deduces that the frame number takes 5 bits from the 11-bit entry (subtracting valid/invalid bit and offset bits). She combines frame number bits and offset bits to calculate the physical address space size.
35:00 – 40:00 35:00-40:00
The instructor solves a problem on effective memory access time in a 32-bit machine using a four-level paging scheme with TLB. The calculation applies the hit ratio formula to determine weighted average access time, resulting in 126 nanoseconds. The lesson transitions to inverted page tables in a 64-bit machine with specific RAM and page size constraints. She calculates the number of entries as Total RAM / Page Size (2^31 / 2^13 = 2^18) and breaks down the logical address into page number and offset bits.
