This project simulates a skibus system involving three process types: a main process, the skibus, and skiers. After breakfast, each skier waits at a designated skibus stop, boarding upon the bus's arrival. The skibus travels between stops, accommodating skiers based on its capacity until all are delivered to a ski lift station.
$ ./proj2 L Z K TL TB- L: Number of skiers (max 20,000)
- Z: Number of stops (1 to 10)
- K: Capacity of the skibus (10 to 100)
- TL: Maximum time a skier waits at a stop (0 to 10,000 microseconds)
- TB: Maximum travel time between stops for the skibus (0 to 1,000 microseconds)
- Processes: Runs a total of 2+L processes including the main process, skibus, and L skiers.
- Synchronization: Utilizes semaphores and shared memory for synchronizing actions without active waiting.
- Output: All actions are logged in sequence in a file named proj2.out.
- Use the make command in the directory containing the Makefile to compile.
- The resulting executable, proj2, will only rely on system libraries.
Example output for a run command can be seen in the proj2.out file, showcasing the process flow from skiers starting, boarding the bus, and going skiing.
