UppDMC: A Distributed Model Checker for Fragments of the mu-Calculus

Abstract We present UppDMC , a distributed model-checking tool. It is tailored for checking finite-state systems and μ-calculus specifications with at most one alternation of minimal and maximal fixed-point operators. This fragment is also known as L μ 2 . Recently, efficient game-based algorithms for this logic have been outlined. We describe the implementation of these algorithms within UppDMC and study their performance on practical examples. Running UppDMC on a simple workstation cluster, we were able to check liveness properties of the largest examples given in the VLTS Benchmark Suite, for which no answers were previously known.
