Synchronization in Centralized Operating Systems

Semaphore-based Solution to the Producer-Consumer Problem: This workbench demonstrates how semaphores can be used to solve the classic producer-consumer problem.
Monitor-based Solution to the Producer-Consumer Problem: The producer-consumer problem can also be solved using monitors as demonstrated by this workbench.
Message Passing-based Solution to the Producer-Consumer Problem: When there is no shared memory between the producer and the consumer, message passing can be used to synchronize the producer and the consumer as shown by this workbench.
Semaphore-based Solution to the Readers/Writers Problem: Watch an animation of the readers/writers problem with semaphores.
Monitor-based Solution to the Readers/Writers Problem: See how monitors can be used to solve the readers/writers problem.
