Complexity of Multi-Valued Register Simulations: A Retrospective (Keynote)

I will provide a historical perspective on wait-free simulations of multi-bit shared registers using single-bit shared registers, starting with classical results from the last century and ending with an overview of the recent resurgence of interest in the topic. Particular emphasis will be placed on the space and step complexities of such simulations. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Distributed algorithms
