Synchronization Techniques

Synchronization techniques are methods used to ensure that multiple processes or devices work together smoothly and without conflict. They coordinate timing so that data is transferred accurately and operations occur in the correct order. For example, in multitasking computers, synchronization prevents two programs from accessing the same file simultaneously, which could cause errors. Techniques include using clocks, signals, or control mechanisms like locks and semaphores to manage access and timing. This coordination is essential for maintaining data integrity, consistency, and efficient operation across systems or processes working concurrently.
