Mutual exclusion vs synchronization

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I came across these terms and I'm a bit confused about the differences.

What I have tried:

While searching for explanations I found few more terms like "Hold and Wait", "No preemption", "critical section" which made me more confused.

Could anyone explain me the differences among Mutual Exclusion, Critical Section, Synchronization, Hold and Wait and No preemption?

Thanks in advance :)

Follow the terms you don't know in a new search, it's called research.
