Introduction to Semaphore
Explore the foundational concept of semaphores in operating system concurrency. Understand how semaphores, introduced by Edsger Dijkstra, serve as synchronization primitives for locking and event ordering, and learn how they relate to locks and condition variables.

As we know now, one needs both locks and condition variables to solve a broad range of relevant and interesting concurrency problems. One of the first people to realize this years ago was Edsger Dijkstra ( ...
