COMP9812 Operating Systems: Implementing IPC for Producer-Consumer

This assignment solution demonstrates interprocess communication (IPC) and synchronisation techniques within an operating system context, focusing on the classic producer-consumer problem. It includes C code implementations for shared memory creation and destruction using `shmget()` and `shmctl()`, along with Java code illustrating producer and consumer threads. The solution covers mutual exclusion and synchronisation using `synchronized` blocks, `wait()`, and `notify()` methods. Additionally, it presents a semaphore-based solution for a bounded buffer, showcasing controlled access and synchronisation between producer and consumer threads. The assignment also includes outputs and screenshots to demonstrate the execution and results of the implemented code.
