Peterson’s Algorithm:Peterson’s Algorithm is a solution to the Critical Section Problem in os for two processes. It uses shared memory and atomic instructions (such as test-and-set) to ensure that only one process can enter the critical section at a time. Lamport’s Bakery Algorithm:Lamport...
An alternative solution would be to use aCriticalSectiontrait, and make all code that needs acquiring the critical section generic over it. This has a few problems: It would require passing it as a generic param to a very big amount of code, which would be quite unergonomic. ...
I would assume that you do not want any context switches in a critical section. Why does such a sequence not work? osThreadSuspend(myThread); core_util_critical_section_enter(); // execute stuff that should not get interrupted by thread switches core_util_critical_section_exit(); osThread...
Sure, you probably know the basics of initializing and using critical sections, but have you ever taken the time to dig into the CRITICAL_SECTION structure defined in WINNT.H? There are some interesting goodies in this structure that have long been ignored. We'll remedy that and show you ...
In a distributed system of N sites an efficient solution to the critical section problem is proposed to allow multiple simultaneous entries to the Critical Section. The proposed solution is token-based, deadlock-free and free from starvation. In all cases except during the book keeping cycle of...
