Answer:
Two other algorithms are Wait/Die and Wound/Wait, each of which uses a symmetry-breaking technique. In both these algorithms there exists an older process (O) and a younger process (Y). Process age can be determined by a timestamp at process creation time. Smaller timestamps are older processes, while larger timestamps represent younger processes.
| Wait/Die | Wound/Wait | |
|---|---|---|
| O needs a resource held by Y | O waits | Y dies |
| Y needs a resource held by O | Y dies | Y waits |
