Summary Implementations of inter-process communication and synchronization in distributed systems usually rely on the existence of unique ids for the processes. We consider the problem of generating such ids for identical processes in a shared-variable system. A randomized protocol that assigns distinct ids to the processes within an expected polynomial number of rounds using a polynomial number of boolean atomic variables is presented.
