Types of Synchronization

There are two synchronizations in Java mentioned below:

1. Process Synchronization
2. Thread Synchronization

1. Process Synchronization in Java

Process Synchronization is a technique used to coordinate the execution of multiple processes. It ensures that the shared resources are safe and in order.

2. Thread Synchronization in Java

Thread Synchronization is used to coordinate and ordering of the execution of the threads in a multi-threaded program. There are two types of thread synchronization are mentioned below:

• Mutual Exclusive
• Cooperation (Inter-thread communication in Java)

Mutual Exclusive

Mutual Exclusive helps keep threads from interfering with one another while sharing data. There are three types of Mutual Exclusive mentioned below:

• Synchronized method.
• Synchronized block.
• Static synchronization.

Multi-threaded programs may often come to a situation where multiple threads try to access the same resources and finally produce erroneous and unforeseen results.
