[Synchronisation] is the process of making something synchronous. [Synchronisation] is important in all computer programs that are [MultiThreaded] becuase without [Synchronisation] the multiple threads of execution would be unable to safely communiate. An instance of unsafe communication is called a RaceCondition. There are several schemes for [Synchronisation] which are known to be equalivent in terms of what you can do with them, but not necessarily their efficiency for a particular opeation. # [Mutex]es # Condition [Variable]s # [Semaphore]s Some modern languages (such as [Java]) provide for [Synchronisation] facilities as part of the language, but in many older languages ([C]/[C++]) they are provided using libraries of one sort or another.
