Question

3. (8 points) Consider the following three threads executing concurrently in the same process. Semaphore t has been initialized to 1, while semaphore s has been initialized to 0. Thread 1 P(&t); n *= 2; V(&t); Thread 2 P(&t); n += 5; V(&s); V(&t); Thread 3 P(&s); P(&t); n-= 3; V(&t); Enumerate the possible values of global variable n after all three threads have terminated. The value of n is initialized to 2.

Step 1

Let's analyze the execution of the three threads step by step, considering the initial value of `n` is 2, and the semaphores `t` and `s` are initialized to 1 and 0, respectively. Show more…
