In operating systems, a race condition occurs when multiple processes or threads access shared data concurrently, and the final outcome depends on the sequence of their execution. This can lead to unpredictable behavior, data corruption, or system crashes if not handled properly. For example, in India, local products like the UPI payment system or Aadhaar database management often rely on robust OS mechanisms to prevent such issues, ensuring secure and efficient operations for millions of users. |
