In [[computer science]], '''s|/jnchronizationsynchronization''' refers to one of two distinct but related concepts: synchronization of [[Process (computer science)|processes]], and synchronization of [[Dataset|data]]. ''Process synchronization'' refers to the idea that multiple processes are to join up or [[Handshake (computing)|handshake]] at a certain point, in order to reach an agreement or commit to a certain sequence of action. ''[[Data synchronization]]'' refers to the idea of keeping multiple copies of a dataset in coherence with one another, or to maintain [[data integrity]]. Process synchronization primitives are commonly used to implement data synchronization.
