Explain about Synchronization and buffering
in distributed system
Answers
Answer:
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, in order 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.
In computer science, a data buffer is a region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being moved from one place to another. However, a buffer may be used when moving data between processes within a computer.
