Definition: In the context of computer science, a snowblink is a type of memory access in which an operation requires more than one instruction to complete. This can cause issues such as race conditions and deadlocks. A snowblink occurs when an operation relies on accessing resources that are already being used by other operations or threads. For instance, if an operation accesses a shared resource (like a file handle), it will require the same amount of time to access the same resource again because the other operations may be using
