Subject Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing; Computational Complexity ACM-class: F.1.2; C.2.4; B.3.2;B.4.3;D.1.3;D.4.1;D.4.4 | cs.DC cs.CC
AffiliationCWI), Alessandro Panconesi (Univ. La Sapienza, Rome), Riccardo Silvestri (Univ. La Sapienza, Rome), and Paul Vitanyi (CWI and Univ. Amsterdam
AbstractWe show that Naming-- the existence of distinct IDs known to all-- is a hidden but necessary assumption of Herlihy’s universality result for Consensus. We then show in a very precise sense that Naming is harder than Consensus and bring to the surface some important differences existing between popular shared memory models.
