Description: Synchronization is the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. This concept is fundamental in computing and programming, as it allows multiple processes or execution threads to work together efficiently and without conflicts. Synchronization ensures that shared resources, such as memory or input/output devices, are used in an orderly manner, avoiding race conditions and ensuring data integrity. There are various synchronization techniques, such as semaphores, mutexes, and monitors, that allow developers to manage concurrent access to resources. Synchronization applies not only in software but also in distributed systems and communication between devices, where it is crucial that operations are performed in the correct order. In multi-user or multi-process environments, synchronization becomes a critical aspect of maintaining system stability and performance, ensuring that all parts function cohesively and efficiently.
