  2. Synchronization (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_(computer...

    Synchronization should be used here to avoid any conflicts for accessing this shared resource. Hence, when Process 1 and 2 both try to access that resource, it should be assigned to only one process at a time. If it is assigned to Process 1, the other process (Process 2) needs to wait until Process 1 frees that resource (as shown in Figure 2).

  3. Synchronization model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronization_model

    The composition model is an extension on the check-out/check-in model. This model allows developers to think in configurations instead of individual files. Although the complete check-out/check-in model is represented in the composition model, it enables the use of different strategies for updating through the use of improved support for the management of configurations.

  4. Single program, multiple data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_program,_multiple_data

    With the (IBM) SPMD model the cooperating processors (or processes) take different paths through the program, using parallel directives (parallelization and synchronization directives, which can utilize compare-and-swap and fetch-and-add operations on shared memory synchronization variables), and perform operations on data in the shared memory ...

  5. Bulk synchronous parallel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_Synchronous_Parallel

    The barrier synchronization concludes the superstep—it ensures that all one-sided communications are properly concluded. Systems based on two-sided communication include this synchronization cost implicitly for every message sent. The barrier synchronization method relies on the BSP computer's hardware facility.

  6. Flowchart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowchart

    A simple flowchart representing a process for dealing with a non-functioning lamp.. A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process.A flowchart can also be defined as a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm, a step-by-step approach to solving a task.

  7. Data synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_synchronization

    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.

  8. Sleeping barber problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_barber_problem

    There are several possible solutions, but all solutions require a mutex, which ensures that only one of the participants can change state at once.The barber must acquire the room status mutex before checking for customers and release it when they begin either to sleep or cut hair; a customer must acquire it before entering the shop and release it once they are sitting in a waiting room or ...

  9. Functional flow block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_flow_block_diagram

    Figure 1: Functional flow block diagram format. [1] A functional flow block diagram (FFBD) is a multi-tier, time-sequenced, step-by-step flow diagram of a system's functional flow. [2] The term "functional" in this context is different from its use in functional programming or in mathematics, where pairing "functional" with "flow" would be ...
