C programming with threads
·
Module 2
Condition Variables and a Bounded Buffer
1
Condition Variable Lifecycle Management
Initialize and destroy condition variables alongside their associated mutexes.
2
Thread Synchronization with Condition Variables
Coordinate threads by using pthread_cond_wait, pthread_cond_signal, and pthread_cond_broadcast.
3
Handling Spurious Wakeups with the Wait-in-a-Loop Pattern
Implement the 'wait-in-a-loop' pattern to correctly handle spurious wakeups.
4
Timeouts with Condition Variables
Use pthread_cond_timedwait to implement timeout-based waiting.
5
Thread-Safe Bounded Buffer Design
Design the logic for a thread-safe bounded buffer (producer-consumer problem).
6
Bounded Buffer with Mutex and Condition Variables
Implement a bounded buffer using one mutex and two condition variables for synchronization.
7
Bounded Buffer: Multiple Producers and Consumers
Write a program with multiple producer and consumer threads interacting via the bounded buffer.
