  • Explanation:Process synchronization is a technique used in operating systems to coordinate the execution of concurrent processes, ensuring data consistency and preventing race conditions. Synchronization mechanisms are essential when multiple processes or threads access shared resources simultaneously. Common techniques include semaphores, mutexes, and monitors. The primary goals of process synchronization are mutual exclusion, progress, and bounded…

  • Deadlock is a situation in operating systems where two or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting for the other to release resources. It typically occurs in concurrent systems when multiple processes require exclusive access to shared resources such as memory, I/O devices, or files. Deadlock is a state in a multi-process…
