Robust Simulation of Shared Memory: 20 Years After.
Hagit Attiya · 2010
The article explores the concept of simulating the abstraction of a shared memory in message passing systems, despite the existence of failures. This abstraction provides an atomic register accessed with read and write operations. This article describes the Attiya, Bar-Noy and Dolev simulation, its origins and generalizations, as well as its applications in theory and practice.
