Understanding Semaphores in Operating Systems: Concepts, Types, and Core Mechanisms
Modern operating systems rely on efficient mechanisms for managing concurrent processes and preventing conflicts during resource sharing. Among these mechanisms, semaphores play a foundational role in handling synchronization and process communication. Introduced by Edsger Dijkstra in the 1960s, semaphores offer a practical and elegant solution to several classic synchronization problems. This article delves deeply into […]
