with applications in, e.g., modal mu-calculus model
checking with arbitrary alternations, and (branching) bisimulation
checking. The algorithm is based on Jurdzinski's Small Progress
Measures. Actually, this is a class of algorithms, depending on
a selection heuristics.
Our algorithm operates lock-free, and mostly wait-free (except for
infrequent termination detection), and thus allows maximum
parallelism. Additionally, we conserve memory by avoiding storage
of predecessor edges for the parity graph through strictly
forward-looking heuristics.
We evaluate our multi-core implementation's behaviour on parity games
obtained from mu-calculus model checking problems for a set of
communication protocols, randomly generated problem instances, and
parametric problem instances from the literature.
