diffused-mutex

Implementation of the Ricart-Agrawala algorithm on a simulation of a distributed system with ipc

Instructions

To build all targets:

make build-all

Then, to execute a simulation of three different processes attempting to access a shared resource, first instantiate the processes simulators:

make p1
make p2
make p3

On three different terminals.

Then, instantiate the shared resource simulator:

make cs

In case you want to build your own simulation with a different number of processes, you can do so executing the binary directly. For instance, to simulate four different processes:

./bin/process 1 10005 10004 10003 10002
./bin/process 2 10005 10004 10003 10002
./bin/process 3 10005 10004 10003 10002
./bin/process 4 10005 10004 10003 10002

The first argument indicates to the simulator which is his own port, from the arguments that follows.
