Synchronization

region of a physical memory storage used to temporarily store data while it is being moved from one place to another

variable that is changed (e.g., incremented, decremented, toggled) depending on programmer-defined conditions, used to control access to a common resource by multiple processes in a concurrent system

in electronics, oscillating signal to coordinate circuits

In electronics and telecommunications, jitter is the deviation from true periodicity of a presumably periodic signal, often in relation to a reference clock signal. In clock recovery applications it is called timing jitter. Jitter is a significant, and usually undesired, factor in the design of almost all communications links.
