Optimality of wait-free atomic multiwriter variables:

Abstract: "Known implementations of concurrent wait-free atomic shared multiwriter variables use [Theta](n) control bits per subvariable. It has been shown that implementations of sequential time-stamp systems require [Omega](n) control bits per subvariable. We exhibit a sequential wait-free at...

Summary:Abstract: "Known implementations of concurrent wait-free atomic shared multiwriter variables use [Theta](n) control bits per subvariable. It has been shown that implementations of sequential time-stamp systems require [Omega](n) control bits per subvariable. We exhibit a sequential wait-free atomic shared multiwriter variable construction using log n control bits per subvariable. There arises the question of the optimality of concurrent implementations of the same, and of weak time-stamp systems. We also show that our solutions are self-stabilizing."
