Abstract

Mutual exclusion makes sure that any given process while in its execution, trying to modify any shared resource prevents the other processes from doing the same. While one process accesses the shared resource, the other processes requiring to access the same will be kept waiting. When the process completes accessing the shared variable, among the other waiting processes, one is selected based on a certain criteria. The proposed algorithm makes sure that there is no possibility of deadlock by using time complexity and a newly defined parameter-timeout. In case of abrupt termination of the process due to unexpected system failure, the recent safe state will be restored. The proposed algorithm ensures that at any given time, shared resource never reaches any inconsistent state
