Space vs Time Trade-off : Partitioned Transition Relation

Space vs Time Trade-off : Partitioned Transition Relation

  • Behavior of the system described by a vector of next state functions (# of latches), and functions for intermediate variables : T1 , T2 , ... , Tn , I1 , I2 ..., Ik
  • Some next state functions can be grouped together into components : (T1 , T2 ), (T3 ,T4 ,T5 ) ... (Tn , I1 , I2) .....
  • Number of BDD nodes roughly increases with decrease in number of components
  • Time taken to perform reachability analysis is a convex function of number of components
  • Number of components can be controlled by the parameter “image_cluster_size”. Usage:

vis> set image_cluster_size 1000

  • “print_img_info” command creates the clusters
