Thread Synchronization Visualizer
See how multiple threads accessing shared data can cause race conditions, and how synchronization primitives prevent them.

No Synchronization Active

Watch what happens when multiple threads read, modify, and write the counter simultaneously. The actual value may differ from the expected value due to race conditions.
