C programming in Linux

In this assignment, you will be working with the "threads"' subsystem of Linux. This is the part of Linux that supports multiple concurrent activities within the kernel. In the exercises below, you will write a simple program that creates multiple threads, you will demonstrate the problems that arise when multiple threads perform unsynchronized access to shared data, and you will rectify these problems by introducing synchronization (in the form of Pthreads mutex) into the code. Then, you will simulate one real world synchronization problem by using the synchronization primitives supplied by Pthreads.
