Non-blocking synchronization

Non-blocking synchronization is a way of making sure that several things can happen at the same time without any problems. To make sure this happens, we use something called "locks". Locks help to make sure things don't get mixed up when they are happening at the same time. With non-blocking synchronization, if something is too busy or taking too long, then we can just skip it and move on to the next thing without blocking the whole process. This way, our program can keep running smoothly without any delays.
