Mutual Exclusion – ME

Question 10. What is Peterson's algorithm, and how does it achieve mutual exclusion?

Answer:

A monitor is a high-level synchronization construct that combines mutual exclusion and condition variables. It ensures that only one process or thread can execute a monitor procedure at a time, automatically providing mutual exclusion within the monitor's critical section.
