Obermarcks Path Pushing Algorithm for Deadlock Detection - Example

Obermarck's Path-Pushing Algorithm is a deadlock detection technique used in distributed systems. It works by propagating wait-for dependency paths along resource request chains. Each blocked process sends its dependency path to the next process in the chain, which appends its own dependencies and forwards the path. If a process receives a path containing itself, a circular wait (deadlock) is detected. This method efficiently identifies deadlocks by analyzing dependency paths dynamically.
