Abstract

We present the first wait-free and self-stabilizing implementation of a single-writer/single-reader regular register by single-writer/single-reader safe registers. The construction is in two steps: one implements a regular register using 1-regular registers, and the other implements a 1-regular register using safe-registers. In both steps, if the initial register is bounded then the implementation uses only bounded registers.
