Abstract: Modern operating systems and hardware support multi-tasking. This talk provides a basic introduction to processes and process synchronization, which play a crucial role in systems involving cooperating processes. It begins with the fundamental concepts of the producer-consumer problem and discusses potential issues in its implementation. The talk then introduces the concept of the critical section and the essential properties it must satisfy.

This session serves as an introductory overview of process synchronization for students in an operating systems course.
