These Are The Top 5 Most Difficult Concepts In Computer Science According To GPT-4

<h1>1. Lamport&rsquo;s Bakery Algorithm</h1> <p>During concurrent computing, multiple threads simultaneously access the same resources on the computer.</p> <p>This can lead to data inconsistency if two threads access and change data at the same memory location or do this in different sequences.</p> <p>Using a bakery as the analogy, Lamport developed this algorithm to prevent threads from entering the critical sections of code concurrently.</p> <p>The algorithm ensures that:</p> <ul> <li>every process enters the critical section (preventing&nbsp;<strong>starvation</strong>)</li> <li>no two processes are in the critical section at the same time (ensuring&nbsp;<strong>mutual exclusion</strong>)</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://levelup.gitconnected.com/these-are-the-top-5-most-difficult-concepts-in-computer-science-according-to-gpt-4-5f9ac157a743"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
