How can I detect livelock in a system?

What is livelock and how does it differ from deadlock?

Livelock occurs when processes continuously change states in response to each other without making progress, unlike deadlock where processes are stuck.

How can I tell if my system is experiencing livelock?

You can detect livelock by monitoring system performance metrics, checking for high CPU usage without progress, and analyzing process states.

Are there any tools that can help me monitor for livelock?

Yes, tools like performance monitors, system profilers, and specific debugging tools can help identify livelock situations.

What steps can I take to resolve livelock once detected?

To resolve livelock, you can implement priority schemes, adjust resource allocation, or redesign the algorithms to avoid circular dependencies.
