A SharedArrayBuffer is a special type of object in JavaScript, primarily used to share data between multiple Web Workers.
In simple terms: It acts as a memory space that can be accessed simultaneously by multiple threads.
For instance, imagine your computer handling several tasks at once:
- Processing a video
- Editing an image
- Performing some calculations
These tasks can be executed in separate threads, and SharedArrayBuffer is used to share data between them efficiently.
Key Advantages:
- The same data can be accessed by multiple threads.
- Memory usage is minimized.
- The overall performance and speed of tasks improve.
Precautions While Using:
- Data synchronization must be managed properly.
- Security considerations need to be addressed.
