Understanding Semaphores in Synchronization by nathansel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Process synchronization and deadlocks are important topics in operating systems. Process synchronization is needed to coordinate access to shared resources among concurrent processes to maintain consistency. It addresses the critical section problem through software and hardware solutions like semaphores and monitors. Deadlocks can occur when processes are blocked waiting for resources held by other blocked processes, forming a circular wait. Methods to handle deadlocks include prevention, avoidance, detect
