Abstract
The goal of System Level Formal Verification (SLFV) is to show system correctness notwithstanding uncontrollable events (such as: faults, variation in system parameters, external inputs, etc). Hardware In the Loop Simulation (HILS) based SLFV attains such a goal by considering exhaustively all relevant simulation scenarios. We present a distributed multi-core algorithm for HILS-based SLFV. Our experimental results on the Fuel Control System example in the Simulink distribution show that by using 64 machines with an 8 core processor each we can complete the SLFV activity in about 27 hours whereas a sequential approach would require more than 200 days. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that a distributed multi-core algorithm for HILS-based SLFV is presented. © 2014 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
