Konflikty

„Konflikty“ (or „conflicts“ in English) in computer science typically refers to situations where two or more processes, threads, or transactions compete for the same resources or attempt to perform operations that are inconsistent with each other. This can lead to issues such as race conditions, deadlocks, or inconsistent data states.

In shared computing environments, conflicts arise when concurrent operations interfere with each other, for example, when one process is trying to write to a file while another process is attempting to read from or write to the same file simultaneously. To manage conflicts, various synchronization mechanisms, such as locks, semaphores, and mutexes, are employed to ensure that resources are accessed in a controlled manner.

In the context of databases, conflicts may occur during transaction processing, where two transactions attempt to modify the same data. Database management systems often implement isolation levels and locking protocols to handle such conflicts and ensure data integrity.

Overall, effectively dealing with conflicts is crucial for maintaining system stability, performance, and data consistency in multi-threaded and distributed environments.
