Abstract

We consider a system of n processes with ids not a priori known, that are drawn from a large space, potentially unbounded. How can these n processes communicate to solve a task? We show that n a priori allocated Multi-Writer Multi-Reader (MWMR) registers are both needed and sufficient to solve any read-write wait free solvable task. This contrasts with the existing possible solution borrowed from adaptive algorithms that require Θ(n 2) MWMR registers.
