Abstract
Abstract : In (A88), Abrahamson presented a solution to the randomized consensus problem of Chor, Israeli and Li (CIL87), without assuming the existence of anatomic coin flip operation. This elegant algorithm uses unbounded memory, and has expected exponential running time. In (AH89), Aspens and Herlihy provide a breakthrough polynomial-time algorithm. However, it too is based on the use of unbounded memory. In this paper, we present a solution to the randomized consensus problem, that is bounded in space and runs in polynomial expected time.
