Synchronization
Synchrony redirects here. For the
X-Files episode, see
Synchrony (The X-Files).For similarly named concepts, see
synchronicity (disambiguation). Synchronization (or Sync) is a problem in
timekeeping which requires the coordination of events to operate a
system in unison. The familiar
conductor of an orchestra serves to keep the orchestra in time. Systems operating with all their parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync. Some systems may be only approximately synchronized, or
plesiochronous. For some applications relative offsets between events need to be determined, for others only the order of the event is important.
