synchronous processing
A method of processing in which tasks are executed one at a time in sequence. Each task must complete before the next one begins, as opposed to asynchronous processing where tasks can run concurrently.
A computing term composed of 同期 (synchronization) and 処理 (processing). In synchronous processing, operations happen in order: the program sends a request and blocks until it gets a response. This contrasts with asynchronous processing, where the program continues executing while waiting.
Common collocations
- 同期処理を行う: to perform synchronous processing

- 同期処理の問題点: issues with synchronous processing
Similar words
- 非同期処理: asynchronous processing — the opposite approach, allowing concurrent execution
- 逐次処理: sequential processing — a similar concept emphasizing step-by-step execution
- 並列処理: parallel processing — multiple tasks running simultaneously on different processors
