How reader and writer problem was implemented and come up
with effective solution for reader and writer problem in
case we have n readers and 1 writer.
Answer Posted / raj kumar
Readers: read data, never modify it
Writers: read data and modify it
criteria:
– Each read or write of the shared data must happen within
a critical section.
– Guarantee mutual exclusion for writers.
– Allow multiple readers to execute in the critical section
at once.
In this example, semaphores are used to prevent any writing
processes from changing information in the database while
other processes are reading from the database.
semaphore mutex = 1; // Controls access to
the reader count
semaphore db = 1; // Controls access to
the database
int reader_count; // The number of
reading processes accessing the data
Reader()
{
while (TRUE) { // loop forever
down(&mutex); // gain access
to reader_count
reader_count = reader_count + 1; // increment the
reader_count
if (reader_count == 1)
down(&db); // if this is
the first process to read the database,
// a down on db
is executed to prevent access to the
// database by a
writing process
up(&mutex); // allow other
processes to access reader_count
read_db(); // read the database
down(&mutex); // gain access
to reader_count
reader_count = reader_count - 1; // decrement
reader_count
if (reader_count == 0)
up(&db); // if there are
no more processes reading from the
// database,
allow writing process to access the data
up(&mutex); // allow other
processes to access reader_countuse_data();
// use the data
read from the database (non-critical)
}
Writer()
{
while (TRUE) { // loop forever
create_data(); // create data
to enter into database (non-critical)
down(&db); // gain access
to the database
write_db(); // write
information to the database
up(&db); // release
exclusive access to the database
}

Implement a command console for changing settings on a particular object. The command console should allow you to enter a string and will return the response (very similar to a terminal session). The commands are as follows: SET propertyname=newvalue will change the target object’s member named “propertyname” to have a value equal to “newvalue”. If the input value is incompatible (i.e. an int being set to a string), print out an appropriate error message. GET propertyname will print out the current value of the target object’s member named “propertyname”. GET * will print out a list of all target object members and their current values. The system should be extensible for future commands and should accept an arbitrary object, such that another developer could insert another object into the system and rely on the command console to get and set the properties correctly.
