Welcome to the Multi-User Print Server Project!
This system simulates how multiple clients send print jobs to a central server. The server handles scheduling, memory management, resource allocation, and job processing in a concurrent environment.

Overview

• Concurrent Clients: Clients register/login and submit print jobs.
• Job Types and Job Scheduling: Upload existing files or create new files and choose job scheduling method on server.
• Memory Management: 8 virtual frames, 4 pages per job, FIFO replacement.
• Resource Management: Reader-writer locks for controlled access.
• Logging: Clients can view job logs after submissions.
• Resource Heirachy Dealock: dining philospher critical problem implemented.

Tech Stack
