Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method to perform large scale grid model checking. A manager distributes the workload over many embarrassingly parallel jobs. Only little communication is needed between a worker and the manager, and only once the worker is ready for more work. The novelty here is that the individual jobs together form a so-called cumulatively exhaustive set, meaning that even though each job explores only a part of the state space, together, the tasks explore all states reachable from the initial state.
