Data synchronization is the process of establishing consistency between source and target data stores, and the continuous harmonization of the data over time. It is fundamental to a wide variety of applications, including file synchronization and mobile device synchronization.
(the START bit), waits 'half a bit duration' and then reads the value of the signal. A further delay of one 'whole bit duration' is executed before the next data bit is 'read' - repeating for the length of the whole serial word (typically 7/8-data bits). An optional PARITY bit follows the data bits and precedes the stop bit(s).
Synchronization is an emergent property that occurs in a broad range of dynamical systems, including neural signaling, the beating of the heart and the synchronization of fire-fly light waves. A unified approach that quantifies synchronization in chaotic systems can be derived from the statistical analysis of measured data. [3]
File synchronization (or syncing) in computing is the process of ensuring that computer files in two or more locations are updated via certain rules. In one-way file synchronization , also called mirroring , updated files are copied from a source location to one or more target locations, but no files are copied back to the source location.
Synchronization in communications was a hard problem for Alexander Bain in the development of the teleprinter. [1] Thomas Edison achieved synchronization in his stock ticker with a clunky but effective unison mechanism to resynchronize periodically. [2]
Synchronization overheads can significantly impact performance in parallel computing environments, where merging data from multiple processes can incur costs substantially higher—often by two or more orders of magnitude—than processing the same data on a single thread, primarily due to the additional overhead of inter-process communication ...
South Africa's government says it will let thousands of illegal miners starve until they accept their fate and emerge from an abandoned shaft to face arrest.
Synchronous serial communication describes a serial communication protocol in which "data is sent in a continuous stream at constant rate." [1]Synchronous communication requires that the clocks in the transmitting and receiving devices are synchronized – running at the same rate – so the receiver can sample the signal at the same time intervals used by the transmitter.
