Operating Systems - Week 6
This week, we learned about semaphores, which are a synchronization datatype used in concurrent programming. Semaphores provide a way for multiple threads to access shared resources without causing problems with each other, preventing race conditions and ensuring that threads do not interfere with each other.
We also learned about the applications of semaphores, such as in the producer-consumer problem. We also explored some potential issues that can arise when using semaphores, such as deadlocks and livelocks, and discussed strategies for avoiding these problems. Overall, this week's material on semaphores provided usefulness for understanding how to write concurrent software that is efficient and reliable.
