section ‹Reduction Theorem›

text ‹
  We have defined the semantics of HO algorithms such that rounds are executed
  atomically, by all processes. This definition is surprising for a model of
  asynchronous distributed algorithms since it models a synchronous execution
  of rounds. However, it simplifies representing and reasoning about the algorithms. 
  For example, the communication network does not have to be modeled explicitly,
  since the possible sets of messages received by processes can be computed
  from the global configuration and the collections of HO and SHO sets.

  We will now define a more conventional ``fine-grained'' semantics where
  communication is modeled explicitly and rounds of processes can be arbitrarily
  interleaved (subject to the constraints of the communication predicates).
  We will then establish a \emph{reduction theorem} that shows that for every
  fine-grained run there exists an equivalent round-based (``coarse-grained'')
  run in the sense that the two runs exhibit the same sequences of local states
  of all processes, modulo stuttering. We prove the reduction theorem for the
  most general class of coordinated SHO algorithms. It is easy to see that the
  theorem equally holds for the special cases of uncoordinated or HO algorithms,
  and since we have in fact defined these classes of algorithms from the more
  general ones, we can directly apply the general theorem.

  As a corollary, interesting properties remain valid in the fine-grained semantics
  if they hold in the coarse-grained semantics. It is therefore enough to
  verify such properties in the coarse-grained semantics, which is much easier
  to reason about. The essential restriction is that properties may not depend
  on states of different processes occurring simultaneously. (For example, the
  coarse-grained semantics ensures by definition that all processes execute the
  same round at any instant, which is obviously not true of the fine-grained
  semantics.) We claim that all ``reasonable'' properties of fault-tolerant
  distributed algorithms are preserved by our reduction. For example, the
  Consensus (and Weak Consensus) problems fall into this class.

  The proofs follow Chaouch-Saad et al.~cite"saad:reduction", where the
  reduction theorem was proved for uncoordinated HO algorithms.

subsection ‹Fine-Grained Semantics›

text ‹
  In the fine-grained semantics, a run of an HO algorithm is represented
  as an $\omega$-sequence of system configurations. Each configuration 
  is represented as a record carrying the following information:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item for every process $p$, the current round that process $p$ is executing,
  \item the local state of every process,
  \item for every process $p$, the set of processes to which $p$ has already
    sent a message for the current round,
  \item for all processes $p$ and $q$, the message (if any) that $p$ has
    received from $q$ for the round that $p$ is currently executing, and
  \item the set of messages in transit, represented as triples of the form
    $(p,r,q,m)$ meaning that process $p$ sent message $m$ to process $q$
    for round $r$, but $q$ has not yet received that message.
  \end{itemize}

  As explained earlier, the coordinators of processes are not recorded in
  the configuration, but algorithms may record them as part of the process states.

  In an initial configuration for an algorithm, the local state of every process

  In the fine-grained semantics, we have three types of transitions due to
  \begin{itemize}
  \item some process sending a message,
  \item some process receiving a message, and
  \item some process executing a local transition.
  \end{itemize}

  The following definition models process p› sending a message to
  process q›. The transition is enabled if p› has not yet
  sent any message to q› for the current round. The message to be
  sent is computed according to the algorithm's sendMsg› function. 
  The effect of the transition is to add q› to the sent›
  component of the configuration and the message quadruple to the
  network› component.

  The following definition models the reception of a message by process

  is in the heard-of set HO› of process p› for the current
  round, and if the network contains some message from q› to
  p› for the round that p› is currently executing.
  W.l.o.g., we model message corruption at reception: if q› is not
  in p›'s SHO set (parameter SHO›), then an arbitrary value
  m'› is received instead of m›.

text ‹
  Finally, we consider local state transition of process p›. 
  A local transition is enabled only after p› has sent all messages
  for its current round and has received all messages that it is supposed
  to receive according to its current HO set (parameter HO›). The
  local state is updated according to the algorithm's CnextState› 
  relation, which may depend on the coordinator crd› of the following
  round. The round of process p› is incremented, and the
  sent› and rcvd› components for process p› are
  reset to initial values for the new round.

  Fine-grained runs are infinite sequences of configurations that start
  in an initial configuration and where each step corresponds to some process

  this condition is implicit in the definition of coarse-grained runs.

subsection ‹From Fine-Grained to Coarse-Grained Runs›

text ‹
  The reduction theorem asserts that for any fine-grained run rho›
  there is a coarse-grained run such that every process sees the same
  sequence of local states in the two runs, modulo stuttering. In other words,
  no process can locally distinguish the two runs.

  Given fine-grained run rho›, the corresponding coarse-grained run sigma› is 
  defined as the sequence of state vectors at the beginning of every round. 
  Notice in particular that the local states sigma r p› and 
  sigma r q› of two different processes p› and q›
  appear at different instants in the original run rho›. Nevertheless,
  we prove that sigma› is a coarse-grained run of the algorithm for
  the same HO, SHO, and coordinator assignments. By definition (and the
  fact that local states remain equal between fg_start_round›
  instants), the sequences of process states in rho› and
  sigma› are easily seen to be stuttering equivalent, and this
  will be formally stated below.

subsection ‹Locally Similar Runs and Local Properties›

text ‹
  We say that two sequences of configurations (vectors of process states)
  are \emph{locally similar} if for every process the sequences of its
  process states are stuttering equivalent. Observe that different stuttering
  reduction may be applied for every process, hence the original sequences of
  configurations need not be stuttering equivalent and can indeed differ
  wildly in the combinations of local states that occur.

  A property of a sequence of configurations is called \emph{local} if it
  is insensitive to local similarity.
