sleeping barber problem - TarisMajor/5143-OpSystems GitHub Wiki
The Sleeping Barber Problem is a classic synchronization problem that involves a barber who sleeps when there are no customers and serves one customer at a time when they arrive. The problem focuses on synchronizing the customer arrivals with the barber's availability, ensuring that customers are not left waiting indefinitely (preventing starvation). The barber can only serve one customer at a time, and if there are no customers, they will fall asleep. If there are too many customers, some may be left waiting for an unreasonably long time, which must be avoided.
