n Let Q(j,i) be the amount of resource type i
requested by process j.
n To determine if this request should be
granted we use the banker’s algorithm:
u If Q(j,i) <= N(j,i) for all i then continue. Else
raise error condition (claim exceeded).
u If Q(j,i) <= V(i) for all i then continue. Else wait
(resource not yet available)
u Pretend that the request is granted and
determine the new resource-allocation state:
