Abstract

Model checking has established as an effective method for automatic system analysis and verification. It is making its way into many domains and methodologies. However, the state space may be extremely large for many practical systems, and this is a major limitation for state-space search algorithms in model checking. We have proposed a novel computing model called probe machine in 2016, which is a fully parallel computing model. In comparison to the Turing machine, it can solve the graph search problems efficiently, which can overcome the existing model checking limitations. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to perform Computation Tree Logic (CTL) model checking based on the mathematical model of probe machine, which can verify all CTL properties. It can greatly reduce the verification time for systems with large state space. We develop a model checker called CTL2PROBE based on our approach and the experimental results show that our approach is better than NuSMV.
