Semaphores

[@bagos1997]

If anyone is confused from the word Semaphore know that in Greek the word Σημαφόρος (Semaphoros) means Signal-bearer. Hope that helps.

[@kerematasen399]

[@ashishchawla9035]

But as the critical section can only be accessed by one process at a time so how two processes are entering the critical section at the same time and using it in counting semaphore?

[@ahmedrateb5867]

Counting semaphores are a generalisation of binary semaphores, whereas binary allows a maximum of 1 process to enter the critical section, counting allows up to n where n is a positive integer

[@SOWProgramming]

Counting semaphores are used when processes need to access a resource which has n instances, so N processes can access that resource.

[@medhananjay9099]

what an amazing explanation thankyou so much neso academy it is very heplfull !! thankyou again

[@abrargadelrab8093]

well explained.

[@klaik30]

The point of mutex is to lock a critical section so that it is thread safe but the call for P() itself is not, right? If two processes each read the check for S they will both see that S > 0 and continue to both run S--. How is this accounted for? I dont think the video talked about this specific scenario?

[@balaganeshn4442]

Thanks a lot for your clear explanation , Is there any video for MUTUX?

[@fahedzidani2681]

instead of using var S u use mutex

[@Nilotpal_Chakravarty_]

Mutex locks are basically binary semaphores

[@eswarpethraj9099]

In counting semaphores, if S is set to 4, then 4 processes enter the critical section at the same point of time, how it's possible because only one process can access the critical section. And what do you mean by an instance of a resource? Any example with c++ 20 code using counting semaphores.

[@subbumotepalli]

Same doubt .if you know plz explain

[@apurvkumar1808]

S is set to 4 means there are 4 instances of the resource so 4 processes can enter in critical section at once.

[@wasalawyer.1179]

does that violate Mutual Exclusion principle?​@@apurvkumar1808

[@eylulmood4830]

why test and lock is a hardware solution? we also used a variable Lock, whereas semaphore is software solution

[@vinayak186f3]

Why is there no while loop in signal's def. i mean if it's a binary semaphore and is already 1 won't it overflow ?

[@diptabose7187]

S never exceeds one in binary semaphore , because to access the critical section wait operation is done. And after accessing signal operation is used . As signal and wait operations are used indivisibly , Semaphore value doesn't overflow , it remains between 0 and 1.

[@samarthtandale9121]

To prevent/protect a shared resource from being accessed by multiple processes at the same time we use Semaphore S, and wait() and signal() operations. But for wait() and signal(), again, the Semaphore is shared resource and they have critical section in them, so we have to again implement mutex for Semaphore S and so on. So, If you got what I just said, to solve a problem of mutex, we are generating another problem of mutex and that will recursively generate another and so on... So how do you solve this problem or where exactly did I go wrong?

[@Mehraj_IITKGP]

You are correct that using a semaphore to protect a shared resource can introduce its own synchronization issues, particularly if multiple threads or processes need to access the semaphore itself. This can lead to a problem known as "semaphore contention," where threads or processes contend for the semaphore itself, rather than the shared resource it is protecting. To address this issue, it is important to carefully design the critical sections for the semaphore and ensure that they are as small and simple as possible. In particular, the critical section for the semaphore should be limited to the code that directly modifies the semaphore's value, such as the wait() and signal() operations. One common approach to minimizing semaphore contention is to use a variant of the semaphore known as a "spinlock." A spinlock is a type of lock that repeatedly checks the value of the semaphore in a loop until it becomes available, rather than blocking the thread or process. This can reduce the overhead of context switching and thread synchronization, particularly in high-concurrency environments. Another approach to reducing semaphore contention is to use techniques such as "reader-writer locks" or "lock-free algorithms," which are designed to allow multiple threads or processes to access a shared resource in a more fine-grained and efficient manner, without relying on traditional locks or semaphores.

s

[@codingwithazan2280]

You missed the concept i would say

[@lowerbound4803]

How could we ensure that S will never be altered from different sources simultaneously?

[@raaj7256]

It's because they're atomic. I guess they're internally atomized using test_and_set or compare_and_set, and my faculty told test_and_set and compare_and_set cannot be called at the same time, there for you can't really call them at the same time (Don't know if the "cannot be altered part" is correct though).
