Philosophers
A classical concurrency problem implemented to explore thread synchronization, mutexes, and deadlock prevention.
01 · Problem
What made this interesting
The dining philosophers problem requires coordinating shared resource access across concurrent threads while preventing deadlocks and ensuring fair scheduling.
02 · Approach
How I solved it
Implemented thread-based simulation with mutex locks for fork synchronization, careful lock ordering to prevent deadlocks, and timestamp-based meal tracking for validation.
03 · Result
What came out of it
A concurrent simulation demonstrating thread synchronization, mutex management, and deadlock prevention strategies.
