The Dining Philosophers Problem is a classic synchronization and concurrency problem in computer science that illustrates the challenges of resource allocation and deadlock avoidance. The problem involves a group of philosophers sitting at a table with a fork placed between each pair of adjacent philosophers. Each philosopher needs both forks to eat, but can only pick up one fork at a time. The challenge is to design a protocol that ensures that all philosophers can eat without causing a deadlock or resource starvation. The problem is used to study various synchronization mechanisms and algorithms to manage shared resources and avoid situations where processes are stuck waiting indefinitely for resources. It highlights the importance of efficient resource management and coordination in concurrent systems.
