Waitfree shared memory consensus in asynchronous systems. This paper presents an algorithm by which a process in a distributed system determines a global state of the system during a computation. A marker is sent across the network that signals to the nodes they need to record their state with the slight difference that the state of the channels is not recorded. Principles, algorithms, and systems the state of the channel is recorded just as in the chandy lamport algorithm. That means, if ek occurred before pk recorded its state, then.
