Synchronization (or Sync) is a problem in timekeeping which requires the coordination of events to operate a system.
In Computer Science, synchronization refers to one of two distinct, but related concepts: synchronization of processes, and synchronization of data. Process synchronization refers to the idea that multiple processes are to join up or handshake at a certain point, so as to reach an agreement or commit to a certain sequence of action. Data synchronization refers to the idea of keeping multiple copies of a dataset in coherence with one another, or to maintain data integrity. Process synchronization primitives are commonly used to implement data synchronization.
Process synchronization
Process synchronization
Process synchronization refers to the coordination of simultaneous threads or processes to complete a task in order to get correct runtime order and avoid unexpected race conditions.
There are many types of synchronization:
- synchronous communication operations
A synchronization point is the location, in a process or collection of threads or processes, where the synchronization occurs. The interaction of synchronization points is one of the objects of study in the theory of concurrent computing
