The first uses repeated sampling over a sequence of arrays of decreasing size to assign unique names to each of n processes with step complexity O(log3 n). The second transforms any sorting network into a strong adaptive renaming protocol, with an expected cost equal to the depth of the sorting network. Using an AKS sorting network, this gives a strong adaptive renaming algorithm with step complexity O(log k), where k is the contention in the current execution. We show this to be optimal based on a classic lower bound of Jayanti. We also show that any such strong renaming protocol can be used to build a monotone-consistent counter with logarithmic step complexity (at the cost of adding a max register) or a linearizable fetch-and-increment register (at the cost of increasing the step complexity by a logarithmic factor)."}],"author":[{"full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian","last_name":"Alistarh","first_name":"Dan-Adrian","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X","id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"last_name":"Aspnes","full_name":"Aspnes, James","first_name":"James"},{"first_name":"Keren","last_name":"Censor Hillel","full_name":"Censor Hillel, Keren"},{"first_name":"Seth","last_name":"Gilbert","full_name":"Gilbert, Seth"},{"full_name":"Zadimoghaddam, Morteza","last_name":"Zadimoghaddam","first_name":"Morteza"}],"date_published":"2011-01-01T00:00:00Z","extern":"1","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank Hagit Attiya, Rachid Guerraoui\r\nand Prasad Jayanti for useful discussions and support.
