This paper presents the design and implementation of a simulator that allows user to study producer-consumer synchronization problem in three different contexts: simple producer-consumer problem, producer-consumer problem in a single processor system and producer-consumer problem in multi-processing system. The main contribution of our work is the facility to run the simulation in a multi-processors environment. This has been deemed appropriate since most of the current applications are distributed in nature and run in multi-processing environment. Additionally, the features offered by the simulator enables user to analyze and evaluate various synchronization problems in a repeatable and controllable environment. The experimental results are presented to show the viability of our proposed simulator.
