the initial value of a counting semaphore is initialized to 7. a total of 20 p() and 15 v() operations are performed on the semaphore in that order. what will be the final value of the semaphore?



Answer :

2 will be the final value of the semaphore.

What is the counting semaphore's initial value?

  • The semaphore's value represents the number of resources that are available; a thread can P the semaphore to acquire a resource, utilize it, and then V on the semaphore to return the resource to the pool.
  • The sum of the resources that are readily available ought to be the semaphore's starting value.

Initial value of a counting semaphore = 7

totalP() operations performed on the semaphore = 20

totalV() operations performed on the semaphore = 15

Final valoe of semaohore = ?

after 20 P operations performed on the semaphore,

  value of the semaphore =

Initial value of a counting semaphore - total P() operations performed on the semaphore

                  = 7 - 20 = - 13

after 15 V operations performed on the semaphore,

  value of the semaphore =

Value of semaphore after 20P operations performed on the semaphore + total V() operations performed on the semaphore

                          = -13 + 5

                          = 2
