Randomized Consensus In Expected Operations Per Processor
- . This paper presents a new randomized algorithm for achieving consensus among asynchronous processors that communicate by reading and writing shared registers. The fastest previously known algorithm requires a processor to perform an expected O(n 2 log n) read and write operations in the worst ca

A Modular Measure of Competitive Performance for Distributed Algorithms
- We define a novel measure of competitive performance for distributed algorithms based on throughput, the number of tasks that an algorithm can carry out in a fixed amount of work. This new measure complements the latency measure of Ajtai, Aspnes, Dwork, and Waarts [4], which measures how quickly an

Modular Competitiveness for Distributed Algorithms
- We define a novel measure of competitive performance for distributed algorithms based on throughput, the number of tasks that an algorithm can carry out in a fixed amount of work. This new measure complements the latency measure of Ajtai et al. [3], which measures how quickly an algorithm can finish

Competitive Access Time via Dynamic Storage Rearrangement
- We deal with a natural generalization of one of the seminal problems in the study of on-line computation, list management [ST85a, IRSW91, Irani91]. We consider a doubly linked list with a pointer pointing to the last item accessed. Our goal, as with list management, is to minimize the total number o

Improved Algorithms and Analysis for Secretary Problems and Generalizations
- this paper weshow that, surprisingly, the two goals are in fact in conflict (see Section 1.2). It can be proven bybackward induction that there exists an optimal policy for minimizing the expected rank of selected item that has the following form: accept an object if and only if its rank relative to

A Theory of Competitive Analysis for Distributed Algorithms
- We introduce a theory of competitive analysis for distributed algorithms. The first steps in this direction were made in the seminal papers of Bartal, Fiat, and Rabani [18], and of Awerbuch, Kutten, and Peleg [16], in the context of data management and job scheduling. In these papers, as well...

Time-Lapse Snapshots
- A snapshot scan algorithm takes an "instantaneous" picture of a region of shared memory that may be updated by concurrent processes. Many complex shared memory algorithms can be greatly simplified by structuring them around the snapshot scan abstraction. Unfortunately, the substantial decrease in

Competitive Routing of Virtual Circuits with Unknown Duration
- In this paper we present a strategy to route unknown duration virtual circuits in a highspeed communication network. Previous work on virtual circuit routing concentrated on the case where the call duration is known in advance. We show that by allowing O(log n) reroutes per call, we can achieve O(lo

Linearizable Counting Networks
- The counting problem requires n asynchronous processes to assign themselves successive values. A solution is linearizable if the order of the values assigned reflects the real-time order in which they were requested. Linearizable counting lies at the heart of concurrent time-stamp generation, as wel

Contention in Shared Memory Algorithms
- Most complexitymeasures for concurrent algorithms for asynchronous sharedmemory architectures focus on process steps and memory consumption. In practice, however, performance of multiprocessor algorithms is heavily influenced by contention, the extent to which processes access the same location at t
