Processsynkronisering
Processsynkronisering, or process synchronization, is the coordination of multiple processes or threads to ensure correct outcomes when accessing shared resources or coordinating progress. It addresses challenges such as race conditions, where results depend on the unpredictable order of execution, and aims to prevent deadlocks, livelocks, and starvation. Synchronization applies within operating systems, runtime libraries, and distributed systems.
Common synchronization mechanisms include mutexes or locks, which grant exclusive access to a resource; semaphores, which
In distributed environments, synchronization becomes more complex and often relies on message passing, coordination services, and
Applications span operating system kernels, database transactions, parallel computing frameworks, and multi-threaded application runtimes. Related topics
