Abstract

We present here two consensus algorithms in shared memory asynchronous systems with the eventual leader election failure detector *** . In both algorithms eventually only the leader given by failure detector *** will progress, and being eventually alone to make steps the leader will decide. The first algorithm uses an infinite number of multi-writer multi-reader atomic registers and works with an unbounded number of anonymous processes. The second uses only a finite number of single-writer multi-reader registers but assumes a finite number of processes with known unique identities.
