+## Server/client application
+
+Task description: Implement the following two programs:
+
+Server:
+        Initializes a hash table of given size (provided via the command line)
+        Supports the insertion of items in the hash table
+        Hash table collisions are resolved by maintaining a linked list for each bucket/entry in the hash table
+        Supports concurrent operations (multithreading) to perform insert, get and delete operations on the hash table
+        Use readers-writer lock to ensure safety of concurrent operations; try to optimize the granularity
+        Communicates with the client program using shared memory buffer (POSIX shm)
+
+Client:
+        Enqueues requests/operations (insert, read, delete) to the server (that will operate on the the hash table) via a shared memory buffer (POSIX shm)
