A (1) send m1 (2) send m2 (3) receive m2 B C (4) send m2 Lecture 8: Asynchronous Network Algorithms • Completely asynchronous distributed computational model • No assumption for speed of processes. • No assumption for transmission delay of communication links. • No assumption for speed of local clocks. Nondeterministic caused by asynchronous Which one is received first, m1 or m2?
process i communication channel process i process j process k communication channel Reliable FIFO channel: any message received must have been sent at some earlier time Model of Send/Receive System • Let an n-node directed graph G=(V,E) represents an asynchronous network, where nodes are processes and directed edges are communication channels.
Problems 1 Leader Election in An asynchronous Ring • Assumption of the network • Network graph G=(V,E) is a ring, where node set V={1,2,…,n} and edge set E={(i,i+1), where i=1,2,…,n and i iscounted mod n}. • Each process has a unique distinct identifier (UID). • Each node uses only unidirectional communication and knows only its UID (it does not know the size of the ring and its neighbors). • Only the leader performs an output. • AsychLCR algorithm (informal) • At each process there is a FIFO queue of UIDs, initially containing only its own UID. • Each process removes and sends the first element of its FIFO queue. • (2) When a process receives an incoming identifier, it compares that identifier to its own. If the incoming identifier is greater than its own, it add it into its FIFO queue; if it is less than its own, it discards the incoming identifier; if it is equal to its own, the process declares itself the leader.
Theorem AsynchLCR solves the leader-election problem. • Analysis of Complexity of AsychLCR Algorithm • Communication complexity: • Time complexity:
Problem2 Leader Election in a General asynchronous Network • Assumption of the network • Undirected connected graph G=(V,E) having n node, where there is bidirectional communication on all the edges. • Processes do not know their indices, nor those of their neighbors, but refer to their neighbors by local names. • If a process i has the same process j for both incoming and outgoing neighbor, then i knows that the two processes are the same.
FloodMax algorithm (informal) • Suppose that each process has a unique distinct UID and it knows diam, the diameter of network. • Each process maintains a record of the maximum UID it has seen so far (initially its own). At each round, each process propagates it maximum on all of its outgoing edges. • After diam rounds, if the maximum value seen is the process’s own UID, the process elects itself the leader; otherwise, it is a non-leader. AsychFloodMax algorithm (informal) • Use FIFO queue for communicational channel. • Simulation the rounds of the following synchronous algorithm: • Send a round r message to tag that message with its round number r. The recipient waits to receive round r messages from all its neighbors before performing its round r transition. By simulating diam (diameter of the network) round, the algorithm can terminate correctly.
Problem 3 Spanning Tree Construction • Assumption of the network • Undirected and connected network digraph G=(V,E) having n nodes and a distinguished source note s. • Output is the structure of a spanning tree of the network graph with root s in a distributed fashion: each process other than s should have a parent component that gets set to indicate the node that is its parent in the tree. • Processes know its neighbors’ indices. They have no knowledge of the size or diameter of the network. No UIDs are needed. • AsynchBFS algorithms • Use FIFO queue for communicational channel • At any point during execution, there is some set of processes that is “marked”, initially just s. • Process s sends out a search message, to all of its outgoing neighbors. • If an unmarked process receives a search message, it marks itself and chooses one of the processes from which the search has arrived as its parent, then it sends a search message to all of its outgoing neighbors.
Application to Message Broadcast Problem AsynchBFS algorithm can be used to Message Broadcast problem: piggyback the message m on all search messages during the formation of the spanning tree.

Exercise (1) Reconsider the banking system. Now suppose that the underlying banking system A allows deposits and withdrawals (modeled as input actions at the user interface of the system ) in addition to transfers. If we apply the same Count Money transformation as before, what can be claimed about the output of the resulting systems?
