The dining philosophers problem is a classic example in computer science often used to illustrate synchronization issues and solutions in concurrent algorithm design. It illustrates the challenges of avoiding a system state where progress is not possible, a deadlock. The problem was created in 1965 by E. W. Dijkstra. Presented as a student exam exercise, the problem illustrates a number of computers competing for access to tape drive peripherals. The formulation known today was a later revision by Tony Hoare.
