Semaphores in SystemVerilog With Examples

Semaphore is a SystemVerilog class that provides access control to shared resources and basic synchronization. It works like a bucket of keys, where processes must obtain a key before executing and return it afterwards. For example, three brothers sharing a single bike use a semaphore to ensure only one brother rides at a time. Semaphores have methods to create them, obtain keys, return keys, and try obtaining keys without blocking.

Semaphores

Semaphore is a SystemVerilog built-in class, used for access control to shared resources, & for basic synchronization.

A semaphore is like a bucket with the number of keys. processes using semaphores must first procure a key
from the bucket before they can continue to execute, All other processes must wait until enough keys are returned
to the bucket.

Example: Three brothers in a house with a single bike.

Semaphore is a built-in class that provides the following methods:

new(); Create a semaphore with a specified number of keys as argument (default: 1 key)

get();   Obtain one or more keys from the bucket

put();   Return one or more keys into the bucket

try_get(); Try to obtain one or more keys without blocking
