Design a Parking Lot - Multi Threaded
ConcurrencyThread SafetyDeadlock PreventionFair QueuingAtomic OperationsProducer-Consumer
Design a multi-threaded parking lot system that handles concurrent vehicle entries and exits from multiple gates. The system must ensure thread-safe operations, prevent deadlocks, implement fair allocation mechanisms, and maintain real-time availability updates across all threads. This problem tests your understanding of concurrent programming, synchronization primitives, and designing systems for high throughput with minimal contention.
What You'll Build
- The system must support multiple entry and exit gates operating concurrently, allowing vehicles to enter and exit simultaneously from different gates.
- Parking spot assignment and release operations must be thread-safe and atomic to prevent race conditions when multiple vehicles compete for spots.
- The system must implement fair queuing to handle concurrent parking requests, ensuring requests are processed in the order they arrive.
- The system must prevent deadlocks when multiple threads compete for the same parking spot or resources.
- All threads must see a consistent, real-time view of parking spot availability across the entire parking lot.
