Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of slack elasticity in distributed computation, as defined by the Caltech Asynchronous VLSI group. We show with a counterexample that slack elasticity is not sufficient for process decomposition. We give criteria which imply slack elasticity and which are sufficient for several forms of process decomposition, and present a hierarchy of determinism.
