CIS 720 Mutual Exclusion

Critical Section problem Process i do (true) entry protocol; critical section; exit protocol; non-critical section od

Correctness Mutual exclusion: at most one process at a time is executing its critical section Absence of deadlock: If two or more processes are trying to enter their critical section, at least one will succeed Absence of unnecessary delay: If a process is trying to enter its critical section and the other processes are executing their non-critical sections or have terminated then the first process is not prevented from entering its critical section. Eventual entry: A process that is attempting to enter its critical section will eventually succeed.
