摘要
In this paper we study the behavior of deterministic algorithms when consensus is needed repeatedly, say k times. We show that it is possible to achieve consensus with the optimal number of processors (n > 3t), and when k is large enough, with optimal amortized cost in all other measures: the number of communication rounds r*, the maximal message size m*, and the total bit complexity b*. More specifically, we achieve the following amortized bounds for k consensus instances: r* = O(1 + t/k), b* = O(nt + nt(3)/k), and m* = O(1 + t(2)/k). When k greater than or equal to t(2), then r* and m* are O(1) and b*=O(nt), which is optimal. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
