Description
In this project, you are required to implement the same functionality as Project II, with the same number of servers
(3) and clients (5), except for the following differences:
1. The clients, numbered C0 through C4 execute Maekawa’s mutual exclusion algorithm among them (instead of
the Ricart-Agrawala algorithm) to decide which client gets to enter the critical section to access a file.
2. Quorum size is equal to three.
3. Quorum of client Ci consists of the set {Ci
, C(i+1)mod5, C(i+2)mod5}.
4. Make sure to implement all messages for Maekawa’s algorithm, including ENQUIRE, YIELD and FAILED.
1 Submission Information
The submission should be through eLearning in the form of an archive consisting of:
1. File(s) containing the source code. Your source code must have the following, otherwise you will lose points:
(a) Proper comments indicating what is being done.
(b) Error checking for all function and system calls.
2. The README file, which describes how to run your program.
