Readers-writers problem



In computer science, the first and second readers-writers problems are examples of a common computing problem in concurrency. The two problems deal with situations in which many threads must access the same shared memory at one time, some reading and some writing, with the natural constraint that no process may access the share for reading or writing while another process is in the act of writing to it.
