Study Notes
Concurrency Mechanisms
- A Counting Semaphore is a concurrency mechanism that involves an integer value used for signaling processes.
- Three atomic operations can be performed on a semaphore: initialize, decrement, and increment.
- The decrement operation may block a process, while the increment operation may unblock a process.
- Counting Semaphore is also known as a general semaphore.
Binary Semaphore
- A Binary Semaphore is a type of semaphore that only takes two values: 0 and 1.
Mutual Exclusion (Mutex) Lock
- A Mutex Lock is similar to a binary semaphore, but with a key difference:
- The process that locks the mutex must be the one to unlock it.
- Only the holder of the lock can operate on it.
Condition Variable
- A Condition Variable is a data type that blocks a process or thread until a specific condition is true.
Monitor
- A Monitor is a programming construct that encapsulates:
- Variables
- Access procedures
- Initialization code
- Abstract data type.
