Abstract
For self-containment, this chapter starts with a short presentation of the notions of safe, regular, and atomic read/write registers (which were introduced in Chap. 2). It then presents simple wait-free implementations of “high-level” registers from “low-level” registers. The notions of “high-level” and “low-level” used here are not related to the computability power but to the abstraction level. This is because, as we will see in the next two chapters, while a regular register is easier to use than a safe register and an atomic register is easier to use than a regular register, they are all computationally equivalent; i.e., any of them can be built wait-free from any other without enriching the underlying system with additional computational power.
