Processes in operating systems involve executing programs on CPUs, with each process having its own CPU. Processes run concurrently and can cooperate or compete for resources. Defining, creating, and managing processes is crucial for system efficiency and performance. Precedence relations, semaphore

In distributed systems, the problem of mutual exclusion arises when multiple sites/processes need to access shared resources concurrently. Unlike in single-computer systems, distributed systems lack shared memory, leading to the need for communication-based approaches rather than shared variables li
