Abstract—We propose a simple algorithm which is based on edge-coloring of system graphs for termination detection of loosely synchronous computations. The proposed algorithm is fully symmetric in that all processors run syntactically identical code and can detect global termination at the same time. Under the 1-port communication model, the algorithm is optimal in terms of termination delay, the difference between the time when a global termination occurs and the time it is detected, in a number of structures—chain, ring of even number of nodes,
