What is Critical section?

Answer Posted / gowtham

Qs: What is Critical section?
Ans:
The critical-section problem is to design a
protocol that the processes can cooperate. The protocol
must ensure that when one process is executing in its
critical section, no other process is allowed to execute in
its critical section. The critical section problem is to
design a protocol that the processes can use so that their
action will not depend on the order in which their execution
is interleaved (possibly on many processors).
