Abstract
Upper and lower bounds are proved for shared space requirements for solution of a problem involving resource allocation among asynchronous processes. The problem is to allocate some number, k≥1, of resources, in an environment in which processes can fail by stopping without warning. Allocation is to be as FIFO as possible, subject to variations imposed by the possibility of failures.
