Hardware Based Solution to Synchronization
Software-based solution like Peterson’s solution are not guaranteed to work on modern architecture. Hence, certain hardware based solution to
Process Synchronization
Semaphores for Process Synchronization
Semaphore S is an integer variable which apart from initialization is accessed only through two standard atomic operations: wait() and signal().
Critical Section Problem
When multiple process run in the system, they might at times want to access the same resource at same time. This situation can lead to unwanted results. To understand the issues – race condition and critical section problem, related with process synchronization lets consider a situation as below: Let: counter = 5 If I run …
