Vignan University: Mutex

This document describes a program to implement mutex in a real-time operating system. It creates two threads - a read thread and a convert thread. The read thread takes input from the user and unlocks the mutex. The convert thread converts the input to uppercase by locking the mutex, converting the characters, and unlocking the mutex. The main function initializes the mutex, creates and joins the two threads, and destroys the mutex when complete. The program runs successfully, taking input, converting it to uppercase, and terminating when the user enters "stop".

MUTEX

AIM: To write a program for MUTEX in real time operating system.

Apparatus:
-PC
- LINUX Terminal.

ALGORITHM:

Step 1: Initialize local variable threads rthread,cthread.


Step 2: initialize a mutex object and set initial value to ‘0’.
Step 3: create rthread
Step 4: if result not equal to zero print mutex initialisation failed,goto step 9.
Step 5: if result =’0’ then initialize rthread.
Step 6: if entered text is stop terminate,if not go to step 7.
Step 7: if mutex is unlock then lock mutex,if mutex is locked increment n.
Step 8: goto step 6.
Step 9: create cthread.
Step 10:if result not equal to zero terminate cthread and delete mutex ,go to step 16.
Step 11: initialize cthread
Step 12: if mutex is locked decrement n by 1.
Step 13: if mutex is unlock check entered text .
Step 14: if entered text is stop then terminate.
Step 15: if text is not stop convert text to upper case,goto step 12.
Step 16: end
