Abstract

Model checking became a standard method of analyzing complex systems in many application domains. No doubt, a number of applications is placing great demands on model checking tools. The process of analysis of complex and real-life systems often requires vast computation resources, memory in particular. This phenomenon, referred to as the state space explosion problem, has been tackled by many researchers during the past two decades. A plethora of more or less successful techniques to fight the problem have been introduced, including parallel and distributed-memory processing. DiVinE is a tool for LTL model checking and reach ability analysis of discrete distributed systems. The tool is able to efficiently exploit the aggregate computing power of multiple network-interconnected multi-cored workstations in order to deal with extremely large verification tasks. As such it allows to analyze systems whose size is far beyond the size of systems that can be handled with regular sequential tools. While the main focus of the tool is on high-performance explicit state model checking, an emphasis is also put on ease of deployment and usage. Additionally, the component architecture and publicly available source code of Divine allow for its usage as a platform for research on parallel and distributed-memory model checking techniques.
DiVinE:并行分布式模型检查器
在许多应用领域,模型检查已成为分析复杂系统的标准方法。毫无疑问,许多应用程序对模型检查工具提出了很高的要求。分析复杂和现实系统的过程通常需要大量的计算资源,特别是内存。这种现象被称为状态空间爆炸问题,在过去的二十年里,许多研究人员已经解决了这个问题。已经引入了大量或多或少成功的技术来解决这个问题,包括并行和分布式内存处理。DiVinE是一个用于离散分布式系统LTL模型检验和可及性分析的工具。该工具能够有效地利用多个网络互联多核工作站的综合计算能力,以处理超大规模的验证任务。因此,它允许分析那些规模远远超出常规顺序工具所能处理的系统规模的系统。虽然该工具的主要焦点是高性能显式状态模型检查,但重点也放在易于部署和使用上。此外,Divine的组件架构和公开源代码允许将其用作研究并行和分布式内存模型检查技术的平台。
