ABSTRACT
In this paper, we construct a 2-writer, n-reader atomic memory register from two l-writer, (n + l)-reader atomic memory registers. There are no restrictions on the size of the constructed register. The simulation requires only a single extra bit per real register, and can survive the failure of any set of readers and writers. This construction is a part of a systematic investigation of register simulations, by several researchers.
