So, we can set the range of pseudorandom numbers (sleep time). In our case, if sleep time is more than 1000ms, the program will exit. The value is determined by the nextInt() method passed in the sleep() method that sleeps the thread for a specified time. The method returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed integer value between. In order to determine the sleep time, we have used the ThreadLocalRandom. A philosopher starts eating by invoking the eat() method and holds the fork for a specified time (sleep time).
The run() method executes when a philosopher has both chopsticks (right and left). The run() method of the Thread class is called if the thread was constructed using a separate Runnable object. Also, we have created a constructor of the Philosopher class and the eat() method. Inside the class, we have defined three variables number, leftchopstick, and rightchopstick. It invokes the availablePermits() method of the Semaphore class that returns the number of permits available in the Semaphore.Īfter that, we have created another class named Philosopher that extends the Thread class. The isFree() method checks for the availability of permits in the semaphore. It releases the given number of permits and increments the permit by 1. The user-defined release() method invokes the release() method of the Semaphore class. If there is no permit is available the current thread becomes disabled. The grab() method invokes the acquire() method that acquires a permit from this semaphore. Inside the class, we have created a constructor of the Semaphore class and defined three methods namely grab(), release(), and isFree(). In order to implement the logic for chopsticks, we have created a class named Chopstick. The two arrays philosophers and chopsticks initialized with the number of philosophers (5). In the following program, first, we have initialized the number of philosophers (5). Implementation of Dining Philosophers Problem For example, if the first philosopher is eating then the adjacent neighbor philosophers should wait and think, and so on.
When the philosopher gets both the forks, he starts eating. The philosopher looks for the forks on either side. After some time, gets hungry and wants to eat noodles. Initially, all philosophers are thinking. PutdownFork(fork, fork) //after eating puts down both the forks Think() //initially all philosophers are thinking No two neighbor philosophers (right and left) can eat together.Those forks can be picked by the other philosophers who will repeat the same process.After eating, a philosopher will put down both forks and starts thinking again.A philosopher may have noodles if both forks are available.Remaining one fork may be picked up by any one of its adjacent philosophers but not both.A philosopher will use both forks/ chopsticks (right and left) to eat.There are the following conditions followed by each philosopher: To eat noodles, there are five forks/ chopsticks (labeled with 1 to 5) placed between each philosopher.Įach philosopher eats and thinks alternatively. There are five plates of noodles to eat when philosophers feel hungry. The above figure represents that there are five philosophers (labeled with P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5) sitting around a circular dining table. The pictorial representation of the problem is as follows. Also, we will implement the solution in a Java program. First, we will discuss the Dining Philosophers Problem that is used in the operating systems after that we will move towards the solution. It is marked as in a circular waiting state. It is the undesirable condition of concurrent systems.
#DINING PHILOSOPHERS PROBLEM JAVA DEADLOCK HOW TO#
In this section, we will understand how to avoid deadlock conditions in dining philosophers problem. The Dining Philosophers Problem is an example of a concurrency problem dealing with the allocation of limited resources among competing processes.
