Comparative Study of Mutual Exclusion Algorithms in Distributed Systems

چکیده
Mutual Exclusion is an important phenomenon in distributed systems. In this paper, we analyze and compare various mutual exclusion algorithms in distributed systems. In permission based mutual exclusion process waits for permission from other processes to enter into a critical section. In token based mutual exclusion, a special message called token is passed over the system and process holding the token can enter into the critical section. We present a comparative study of quorum based, token ring token asking and multiple token algorithms for mutual exclusion in distributed systems.

An Improved Token-Based and Starvation Free Distributed Mutual Exclusion Algorithm
Distributed mutual exclusion is a fundamental problem of distributed systems that coordinates the access to critical shared resources. It concerns with how the various distributed processes access to the shared resources in a mutually exclusive manner. This paper presents fully distributed improved token based mutual exclusion algorithm for distributed system. In this algorithm, a process which...
متن کاملA survey of permission-based distributed mutual exclusion algorithms
The problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems has attracted considerable attention over the last two decades. The mutual exclusion problem requires that, at a time, only one of the contending processes be allowed to enter its critical section (CS). A number of solutions have been provided to the mutual exclusion problem in distributed systems. Different algorithms have used different t...

This paper focuses on various inter process communication checkpointing algorithms in distributed systems and also presents a comparative study of security issues associated with distributed systems. First, we study each algorithm in detail one by one and see how these algorithms helps in determining global states of a distributed systems and achieving mutual exclusion and how they are differen...
متن کاملA Simulation Study on Distributed Mutual Exclusion
In the problem of mutual exclusion concurrent access to a shared resource using a struc tural program abstraction called a Critical Section CS must be synchronized such that at any time only one process can enter the CS In a distributed system due to the lack of both a shared memory and a global clock and due to unpredictable message delay the design of a distributed mutual exclusion algorithm ...
متن کاملQuorum-Based Mutual Exclusion Algorithms: A Survey
The development of highly complex software, communication interfaces and the presence of low-cost processors are key factors towards the design of distributed applications. By distributing a computation, processes are permitted to run concurrently, share resources among themselves and at the same time working independent of each other. Distributed computations that involve sharing of resources ...
