Description:
The dining philosophers problem is a classic problem in computer science: 5 philosophers are sitting at a circular table doing one of two things, eating or thinking. There is a large bowl of spaghetti in the center and there is one fork between each pair of adjacent philosophers. Spaghetti is difficult to serve with a single fork so a philosopher needs two forks. Each philosopher can only use the forks on his immediate left and right. In computing, it is a problem of synchronization between processes and resources.
Suitable for:
Computer science students/grads, programmers, mathematicians and geeks.
