Question

The Bounded buffer problem is also known as ___________

• A. Producer – consumer problem
• B. Reader – writer problem
• C. Dining Philosophers problem
• D. Both $(2)$ and $(3)$

Answer 1

The bounded-buffer problems (the producer-consumer problem) is a classic example of concurrent access to a shared resource. A bounded buffer lets multiple producers and multiple consumers share a single buffer. Producers write data to the buffer and consumers read data from the buffer.

• Producers must block if the buffer is full.
• Consumers must block if the buffer is empty.  

Hence option A is correct
