User-space Synchronization

User-Space Synchronization is a synchronization mechanism that enables coordination of access to shared resources among concurrent threads or processes without relying on kernel-mediated primitives, distinguishing itself from kernel-space synchronization by operating entirely within user-space to minimize context-switching overhead and improve performance.
