YASS is a free CPU Simulator created at Edge Hill University with over 5 years of development. It's purpose is to provide tools for teaching and learning by mimicking the behaviour of computer operating systems, by including visualitions to help better understanding the underlying processes.
The simulator is a complex piece of software, and hence I thought I'd make a demonstration of how a deadlock can be simulated in it with visualisations to aid understanding.
