Java Multithreading and Parallel Programming Masterclass - Readers-Writers Problem

The lecture discusses the Readers-Writers problem, a concurrency issue where multiple threads access shared data. It explains the constraints: multiple readers can access data simultaneously, but only one writer can update it at a time. The implementation involves using locks and semaphores to manage access, ensuring data consistency. The solution focuses on maintaining coherency, allowing multiple readers to see the same data while preventing simultaneous writer access. The problem is resolved using Java's read-write lock, highlighting the importance of understanding the underlying logic for constructing solutions from primitives.
