We describe our experiences in using SPIN to verify parts of the Multi-Purpose Daemon (MPD) parallel process management system. MPD is a distributed collection of processes connected by Unix network sockets. Its dynamic nature is easily expressible in the SPIN/Promela framework but poses performance and scalability challenges. We present here the results of expressing some of the parallel algorithms of MPD and executing verification runs with SPIN.
