15 Bakery Algorithm

The Bakery Algorithm is a solution for the critical section problem with multiple processes. Each process receives a unique token by choosing the maximum of all other tokens and incrementing by 1. Processes then wait for their turn if another process has a lower token value or equal token but lower process ID. The process with the lowest token is granted access to the critical section. Choosing flags are used to prevent issues when processes are selecting their tokens.

Bakery Algorithm

Multiple Process Solutions


 Peterson’s solution solves the critical-section
problem for two processes, in software
 For multiple processes we have “Bakery Algorithm”
 Used in bakeries etc

Operating Systems -
Bakery Algorithm
 The basic idea is that of a bakery
 On entering the bakery, Customers take tokens
 Whoever has the lowest token gets service next.
 “Service" means entry to the critical section.

Operating Systems -
Bakery Algorithm
 int token[n];
 token[0] = token given to Process 0
 token[1] = token given to Process 1
 …
 …
 token[n-1] = token given to Process n – 1

//4. Leave Critical Section
token[OwnID] = 0;

Operating Systems -
Receive a token
 Initially token[0] .. token[n-1] are set to zero
 Process i chooses token[i] as
 max(token[0],token[1],...,token[n-1]) + 1;
 Let n = 5;
 Let the order of execution be P0,P3,P4,P1,P2,P3,P4…
 P0 gets token[0] = max(0,0,0,0,0) + 1 = 0+1=1
 P3 gets token[3] = max(1,0,0,0,0) + 1 = 1+1=2
 P4 gets token[4] = max(1,0,0,2,0) + 1 = 2+1=3
 P1 gets token[1] = max(1,0,0,2,3) + 1 = 3+1=4
 P2 gets token[2] = max(1,4,0,2,3) + 1 = 4+1=5
 P3 gets token[3] = max(1,4,5,2,3) + 1 = 5+1=6
 P4 gets token[4] = max(1,4,5,6,3) + 1 = 6+1=7

Operating Systems -
Wait for turn
 Pi waits until it has the lowest token of all the processes
waiting to enter the critical section.
 Bakery Algorithm does not guarantee that two processes do
not receive the same token
 In case of a tie, the process with the lowest ID is served first.
for (OthersID = 0;OthersID < n ; OthersID++)
while(token[OthersID]!=0 &&(token[OthersID],OthersID)<
(token[OwnID],OwnID));
 (a,b) < (c,d) = TRUE if a < c or if both a = c and b < d
 token[OwnID] = 0 => Process is not trying to enter the critical
section

Operating Systems -
Bakery Algorithm
 The reason for choosing is to prevent the second
while loop being entered when process POthersID is
setting its token[OthersID].
 choosing[OthersID] is true if POthersID is choosing
a token.
 If a process POthersID is choosing a token when Pi tries
to look at it, Pi waits until POthersID has done so before
looking
