In computer science, synchronization encompasses two main concepts: process synchronization and data synchronization. Process synchronization is the coordination of multiple processes to ensure a specific sequence of action, while data synchronization ensures consistency across multiple copies of a dataset. Process synchronization techniques often facilitate data synchronization.
