The arm goes down to indicate clear, rather than up (as in an upper quadrant signal).

Horizontal is "stop" in both cases.

Explain binary semaphore and its uses?

A binary semaphore is a semaphore with an integer value that can range only between 0 and 1. A binary semaphore can be simpler to implement than a counting semaphore, depending on the underlying hardware architecture.To implement it in terms of binary semaphores we need the following data structures: binary-semaphore S1, S2; i n t C; Initially S1 = 1, S2 = 0, and the value of integer C is set to the initial value of the counting semaphore S.The wait operation on the counting semaphore S can be implemented as follows: wait (S1) ; c--; i f (C < 0) { signal(S1) ; wait (S2) ; } signal(S1) The signal operation on the counting semaphore S can be implemented as follows: w a i t (S1) ; C++ ; i f (C <= 0) signal (S2) ; e l s e signal (S1) ;

How can semaphore be used to enforce mitual exclusion?

semaphore is a variable providing mutual exclusion in following manner- -It consist of two function called wait and signal, wait() { while(semav==0); semav--; } signal() { semav++; } where semav is semaphore. we apply wait() and signal() in following manner- while(true) { <entry section>; wait() <critical section> signal() <Exit section> } note that wait() always comes before signal(), a process is not allowed to execute critical section if the semaphore has a value 0 i.e. at most one process can execute critical section at a time.
