Abstract:The goal of this work is to improve the efficiency of bounded model checkers that are modular in the memory model.
Our first contribution is a static analysis for the given memory model that is performed as a preprocessing step and helps us significantly reduce the encoding size.
Memory model make use of relations to judge whether an execution is consistent. The analysis computes bounds on these relations: which pairs of events may or must be related.
What is new is that the bounds are relativized to the… Show more
