Due Date:

• 14 December, 9PM

What to Turn-In:

• Submit the code in the ususal way...
• Submit to the bin outside my office:
  A writeup that describes your implementation, including your use of threads, mutexes, and condition variables. Be sure to answer the following:
  • How you used Thread features to handle any Semaphore activitiy, e.g., Counting Semaphores.
  • Comparison of Basic Barber Shop Project and Threads Barber Shop Project ease of programming
  • Use of system resources and performance (look at the following tools):
    • truss
    • vmstat
    • iostat
    • time
    • prof, gprof
  This needs to be complete and detailed!!!
• A print out of a test runs using the input files input2 and input3 (these are the same inputs as input2 and input3 for the Basic BarberShop project) (use lp4 to reduce paper). Make sure to highlight the same information as you did in the Basic BarberShop Project runs.

NOTES:

• See pg, 107... of the 1st reference below for a discussion of libraries and header files.
• If you did a major improvement from Project 6 to Project 7 then you are free to use your Project 7 code.
