Synchronization constructs are mechanisms provided by programming languages and operating systems to coordinate concurrent execution of threads or processes. They ensure that shared resources are accessed in a controlled manner, preventing data races, deadlocks, and other concurrency hazards. Common synchronization constructs include mutexes, semaphores, monitors, condition variables, atomic variables, and barriers, each serving distinct purposes and offering different performance characteristics.
A mutex (mutual exclusion) allows only one thread to own the lock at a time, protecting critical
Bars er such as cyclic barriers enable multiple threads to rendezvous at a single point before continuing.
