Title
IibDMC: a Library to Operate Efficient Distributed Model Checking
Abstract
Model checking is a formal verification technique that allows to automatically prove that a system's behavior is correct. However it is often prohibitively expensive in tim e and memory complexity, due to the so-called state space ex- plosion problem. We present a generic multi-threaded and distributed infrastructure library designed to allow dist ri- bution of the model checking procedure over a cluster of machines. This library is generic, and is designed to allow encapsulation of any model checker in order to make it dis- tributed. Performance evaluations are reported and clearl y show the advantages of multi-threading to occupy proces- sors while waiting for the network, with linear speedup over the number of processors.
