Producer-Consumer Problem

Interactive visualization of the classic synchronization problem in operating systems. Learn how semaphores prevent race conditions between producer and consumer processes.

With Semaphore

Experience the synchronized solution using mutex and counting semaphores. See how proper synchronization prevents data corruption and ensures safe concurrent access.

  • Mutex for mutual exclusion
  • Empty & Full semaphores
  • No race conditions

Without Semaphore

Observe what happens without proper synchronization. Watch race conditions occur and understand why synchronization is critical.

  • No mutual exclusion
  • Potential data corruption
  • Race conditions visible
