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)."}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:48:22Z","status":"public","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","page":"239 - 248","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We would like to thank Hagit Attiya, Rachid Guerraoui\r\nand Prasad Jayanti for useful discussions and support.
