Background o Concurrent access to shared data may result in data inconsistency o Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes Suppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers.We can do so by having an integer count that keeps track of the number of full buffers. Initially,count is set to 0.It is incremented by the producer after it produces a new buffer and is decremented by the consumer after it consumes a buffer.Background  Concurrent access to shared data may result in data inconsistency  Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes  Suppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers.
