  19. TOPOLOGICAL REPRESENTATION ALGORITHM FOR WSB

  20. In 1993 it was discovered the deep relationship between topology and distributed computing [Borowsky & Gafni 93] [Herlihy & Shavit93,99] [Saks & Zaharoglou93, 00] Here we focus on WSB • Represent the global state of an execution of an algorithm as a simplex • All executions are represented by a complex

  21. 0 2 1 0 1 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 1 2 1 The complex is a chromatic and binary colored subdivision of a proper colored simplex. All possible executions Initial state of the system

  22. 0 2 1 0 1 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 1 2 1 The complex is a chromatic and binary colored subdivision of a proper colored simplex. The more steps processors execute, the more fine the subdivision is All possible executions Initial state of the system Simplex proper colored with id’s procs participate Binary coloring = output value

  23. 0 2 1 0 1 2 0 0 2 1 0 solo executions Two processors participate All processors participate 2 1 2 1 The complex is a chromatic and binary colored subdivision of a proper colored simplex. The more steps processors execute, the more fine the subdivision is

  24. 0 2 1 0 1 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 1 2 1 The complex is a chromatic and binary colored subdivision of a proper colored simplex. The more steps processors execute, the more fine the subdivision is Comparison requirement => symmetry on the boundary For two i-faces s1, s2, there is a simplicial bijection from sub(s1) to sub(s2) that preserves id coloring and binary coloring

  25. 0 2 1 0 1 2 0 0 2 1 0 2 1 2 1 The complex is a chromatic and binary colored subdivision of a proper colored simplex. The more steps processors execute, the more fine the subdivision is NO monochromatic simplexes of dimension n Representation WSB algorithm: chromatic subdivision with a symmetric binary coloring and no monochromatic n-simplexes

  26. If there exists an algorithm for WSB for n+1 processors then there exists a chromatic subdivision of dim n with a symmetric binary coloring and no monochromatic n-simplexes [Borowsky & Gafni93, 97] [Herlihy & Shavit93, 99][Saks & Zaharoglou93, 00] [Attiya & Rajsbaum02] Impossibility for WSB:for somen, symmetry => any such a subdivision contains monochromatic

  27. If there exists a chromatic subdivision of dim n with a symmetric binary coloring and no monochromatic n-simplexes then there exists an algorithm for WSB for n+1 processors Asynchronous Computability Theorem [Herlihy & Shavit 93, 99], Simplex Convergence Algorithm [Borowsky & Gafni 97] Algorithm for WSB:for exceptionaln, there are subdivision with symmetry and no monochromatic

  28. DERIVING ALGORITHMS FOR WSB

  29. n+1 1 n+1 2 n+1 n ... • Exceptionaln= • are relatively prime • Goal: For exceptional n, construct a subdivisionK • chromatic • binary coloring • symmetric on the boundary • no monochromatic n-simplexes

  30. n+1 1 n+1 2 n+1 n + 1 = 0 + ... + + k1 k0 kn-1 Key: there exist integers ki‘s which satisfy the equation if and only if n is exceptional

  31. The construction in two steps: • Use these ki’s to construct a symmetric subdivision K with 0 monochromatic n-simplexes counted by orientation: x counted as +1 and x counted as –1 • Cancel out the simplexes counted as +1 with the simplexes counted as –1 without modifying the boundary of K

  32. STEP 1: A SUBDIVISION WITH #mono=0

  33. 0 2 1 0 0 1 2 1 2 0 0 0 2 1 1 2 1 2 The ChromaticCone 1. Assume a symmetric boundary 2. Put a red monochromatic triangle at the center 3. Connect them 4. Each simplexes on bd with carrier of same dim, is connected to the face of the center that completes its id’s

  34. 0 2 1 0 0 1 2 1 2 0 0 0 2 1 1 2 1 2 The ChromaticCone Every corner produces a triangle Every edge produces a triangle If red monochromatic then red monochromatic for i-faces s1, s2 => n-simplexes produced by isomorphic i-simplexes of sub(s1) and sub(s2) are counted in the same way (by orientation) Only has red monochromatic n-simplexes

  35. Step 1: bd(K) S • Construct K by dimension: each proper i-face is appropriate subdivided such that ithas ki red-mono i-simplexes. All i-faces have thesame subdivision (binary coloring is symmetric) • 2. Once the boundary bd(K) is done, do a chromatic cone with a red-mono simplex at the center Not any subdivision with ki red mono i-simplexes works Every ki, it is possible to construct the appropriate subdivision There is a restriction for k0 but it is not a big problem

  36. By construction n+1 i +1 n - 1 i = 0 = 0 #mono = 1 +sum ki n-simplexes produced by one sub(i-face) simplex at the center # i-faces For a subdivision with a symmetric a binary coloring#mono is • Orient K such that simplex at the center is counted as +1 • Count the number of monochromatic n-simplexes: The boundary induces the number of monochromatic simplexes!! Using Index Lemma => for any pseudomanifold, the boundaryinduces #mono

  37. STEP 2: CANCELING SIMPLEXES +1 WITH –1

  38. From step 1: symmetric subdivision K with #mono= 0 • n-simplexes, counting by orientation • Goal:subdivision of K with NO mono n-simplexes and • the same boundary (to preserve symmetry) • Idea:algorithm to cancel out each mono counted as +1 • with a monocounted as –1

  39. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them -1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1

  40. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them -1 +1 +1 -1 +1 -1

  41. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them -1 +1 +1 -1

  42. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them -1 +1 +1 -1

  43. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them -1 +1

  44. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them -1 +1

  45. Cancel out a simplex of K counted as +1 with a simplex counted as –1 by subdividing a path which connects them n exceptional => subdivision K with no monochromatic => algorithm for WSB The algorithm works for any dimension n >= 2
