Q. Consider the methods used by processes P1 and P2 for accessing their critical sections whenever needed, as given below. The initial values of shared boolean variables S1 and S2 are randomly assigned.
Method Used by P1:
while (S1 == S2) ;
Critica1 Section
S1 = S2;

Method Used by P2:
while (S1 != S2) ;
Critica1 Section
S2 = not (S1);

Q. The following program consists of 3 concurrent processes and 3 binary semaphores. The semaphores are initialized as S0=1, S1=0, S2=0.
Process P0 :
while (true) {
wait (S0);
print (0);
release (S1);
release (S2);
}

Process P1 :
wait (S1);
Release (S0);

Process P2 :
wait (S2);
release (S0);
How many times will process P0 print '0'?

Q. Consider a counting semaphore which was initialized to 10 and then 6P (wait) operations and 4v(signal) operations were completed on this semaphore. What is the resulting value of semaphore?

View solution

Q. Let P1 and P2 be the two processes and S1 and S2 be the two shared Boolean variables. The initial values of S1 and S2 are randomly assigned. For accessing the critical sections of P1 and P2 the methods used by them are given below:

Method used by P1
While ( S1 == S2 );
Critical section
S1 = S2;

Method used by P2
While ( S1! = S2 )
Critical section
S2 = not (S1);
