  Classical Problems of Synchronization in OS Introduction Synchronization in operating systems (OS) is a critical concept, pivotal for maintaining harmony among multiple processes. This technique ensures that shared resources are accessed in an orderly manner, preventing conflicts & ensuring efficiency. Grasping this concept is essential for students delving into the intricacies of OS design & functionality. In this article, we will learn about different synchronization problems in operating systems.  Synchronization Problems Bound-Buffer Problem In computing, the Bound-Buffer problem is a classical synchronization challenge. It's about managing data in a buffer that has limited capacity. Picture a scenario where multiple processes are either putting data into the buffer (producers) or taking data out (consumers). The crux is to ensure that a producer doesn’t add data to a full buffer, & a consumer doesn’t try to remove data from an empty one.  This problem i...
