​Title:

Complexity of Multi-Valued Register Simulations: A Retrospective

 

ABSTRACT:

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.
