Urgent Partial Order Reduction

The repository contains case study models and prototype binary for ATVA paper submission.

The binary assumes 64-bit Linux distribution.

Example

Evaluate a deadlock check on simple FireAlarm instance with 16 sensors execute the following:

time ./bin/verifyta -squ FireAlarm/fireAlarm_16.xml FireAlarm/AGnotdeadlock.q

Verifying formula 1 at FireAlarm/AGnotdeadlock.q:1
 -- Formula is satisfied.
 -- States stored : 65583 states
 -- States explored : 65583 states
 -- CPU user time used : 4430 ms
 -- Virtual memory used : 79272 KiB
 -- Resident memory used : 28236 KiB

real    0m4,482s
user    0m4,465s
sys     0m0,017s

Observe that the number of stored states is 65583 and the user CPU time 4430ms, or one can use the independent measurement by time utility which states 4.465s.

Evaluate a deadlock check on the same instance with Partial Order Reduction turned on, set the environment variables UPPAAL_UPOR and UPPAAL_REACHABLEACT, for example:

UPPAAL_REACHABLEACT=1 UPPAAL_UPOR=1 time ./bin/verifyta -squ FireAlarm/fireAlarm_16.xml FireAlarm/AGnotdeadlock.q 

Verifying formula 1 at FireAlarm/AGnotdeadlock.q:1
 -- Formula is satisfied.
 -- States stored : 184 states
 -- States explored : 184 states
 -- CPU user time used : 10 ms
 -- Virtual memory used : 72248 KiB
 -- Resident memory used : 11956 KiB
0.02 user, 0.00 kernel, 0.02 elapsed, 0:00.02 wall-clock, 12244 kb_MaxRSS

Observe that the number of states is 184, which is several orders of magnitute smaller than without reduction. Also the timing is just 10ms (or 0.02s as measured independently).
