Spin Lock vs Mutex vs Binary Semaphore vs Counting Semaphore in Operating System

In this video, we first look at the difference between spin lock and mutex. Then we look at differences between mutex and binary semaphore. Also, we look at use cases of each one of them.

thanks for making this video! it cleared a lot in my head.

if semaphore is not able to do mutual exclusion then how can it helps in process synchronization ??

[sahilkalamkar]

But if we initialize semaphore to a value of 1...It can be used to solve the Critical section problem right?

[utsavaggarwal_ds]

So u mean to say, if u use mutex as a solution then the waiting process will sleep till the process exit CS, but it does not have any impact on the total execution time. right ?

Can u give any c example to understand this all concept
