In this lab, you will be implementing a solution to the Dining Philosophers problem using processes, shared memory, and semaphores. There are many algorithms for solving the Dining Philosophers problem. One is included in the Lab writeup. You might also look at: Discussion 1, Downey or Discussion 2, Farber
The lab is described by a writeup in PDF format. The associated example files are available as Example comments and Example Output file Further instructions are in the writeup.
Be sure to understand Shared Memory and Semaphore mgmt
