Exercise

Explore how different locking mechanisms work by running and analyzing assembly code in a concurrency simulator. Learn to identify race conditions, predict outcomes, and test synchronization techniques including flag locks, test-and-set, Peterson’s algorithm, ticket locks, and yield instructions to understand their behavior and efficiency in threaded environments.

We'll cover the following...
