Abstract

We describe a model checker for infinite-state sequential programs, based on Craig interpolation and the lazy abstraction paradigm. On device driver benchmarks, we observe a speedup of up to two orders of magnitude relative to a similar tool using predicate abstraction.

This paper proposes a lazy abstraction algorithm for verification of functional programs. The feature of the lazy abstraction method is that the predicate abstraction and the model checking are fused, and that abstractions for unreachable configurations ...
Lazy abstraction

One approach to model checking software is based on the abstract-check-refine paradigm: build an abstract model, then check the desired property, and if the check fails, refine the model and start over. We introduce the concept of lazy abstraction to ...
