Title
Distributing Timed Model Checking - How the Search Order Matters
Abstract
In this paper we address the problem of distributing model checking of timed automata. We demonstrate through four real life ex- amples that the combined processing and memory resources of multi- processor computers can be eectiv ely utilized. The approach assumes a distributed memory model and is applied to both a network of worksta- tions and a symmetric multiprocessor machine. However, certain unex- pected phenomena have to be taken into account. We show how in the timed case the search order of the state space is crucial for the eectiv e- ness and scalability of the exploration. An eectiv e heuristic to counter the eect of the search order is provided. Some of the results open up for improvements in the single processor case.
