=Description=
The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer-consumer_problem producer-consumer] problem is a classic software concurrency problem. The problem features one or more "producers" and one or more "consumers". All producers and consumers must share access to a "buffer" into which producers insert the products they produce, and from which consumers take the products they consume. The buffer is "bounded", that is, it has a maximum capacity.
So at any time, the buffer could be empty, precluding any consumer from withdrawing a product. Or the buffer could be full, which would mean that no producer could not produce a new product until a consumer had made space in the buffer.
