The term "synchronization", when discussing Java programming, refers to the mechanism which allows only one thread to access a block of code at a time. The advantage with synchronization is that it prevents data corruption but it also increases the total execution time of a program.

synchronous


Compare synchronous and asynchronous operation of sequential circuits?

A Synchronous Sequential Circuit is a system whose behavior can be defined on the timing of their signals , where in the case of asynchronous sequential circuit depend upon the order in which its inputs signals change and can be affected at any instance of time . (reference : M. Moris Mano)


Is rs232 synchronous or asynchronous?

It can be either.


Why the synchronous modems are more costly than the asynchronous modems?

Because they contain clock recovery circuits


What is the difference between synchronous IO and asynchronous IO?

If a process requests that the O/S write data to disk, and has to wait for it to be written before continuing, then that is Synchronous. If the process does not have to wait for the write to be completed, that is Asynchronous. Synchronous is real-time.


Differecne between synchronous circuit and a asynchronous circuit?

Synchronous circuits operate under the influence of s clock pulse while asynchronous circuits operate without the influence of a clock pulse


What is the advantage and disadvantage of a synchronous counter over an asynchronous counter?

1. Easier to design 2. No propagation delay Actually the second one is the most important reason. In designing circuits that work at high clock rates, ripples will result in errors so synchronization is very very important.


What the different between synchronous and asynchronous?

In asynchronous transmission , the receiver and the transmitter each use their own clock signals so its not possible to know when a word starts and stops. while in synchronous , the receiver and the transmission have common clock signals.


Difference between synchronous and asynchronous flip flops?

Synchronous flip-flops change outputs synchronously to a clock signal, while asynchronous flip-flops can change outputs regardless of the clock signal. Asynchronous flip-flops are not as commonly used due to potential timing hazards, while synchronous flip-flops are widely used in digital circuits to ensure reliable operation.


Difference between synchronous bus and asynchronous bus?

1. Syncrhonous bus includes clock in control lines whereas asynchronous bus is not clocked. 2. the devices which need to be connected by synchronous bus should be at same speed whereas an asynchronous bus may connect many devices with varying speeds. 3. A fixed protocol is defined to communicate using synchronous bus which is relative to the clock. An asynchronous bus uses handshaking protocol.


Does Synchronous memory retrieves data faster than asynchronous memory?

yes
