Philosophers: The Dining Philosophers Problem
As part of the 42 Network at Campus 19 in Brussels, I tackled the classic Dining Philosophers concurrency problem.
The goal was to correctly manage shared resources (forks) between philosophers without causing deadlock or starvation, using threads and mutexes.
Core concepts:
- Thread creation and management
- Mutex-based synchronization
- Deadlock prevention
- Timing constraints
A crucial project for understanding real-world multithreaded applications!
