Constraint-Based Deadlock Checking Sample Clauses

Constraint-Based Deadlock Checking. Ensuring the absence of deadlocks is important for certain applications, in particular for Bosch's Cruise Control. We are tackling the problem of finding deadlocks via constraint solving rather than by model checking. Indeed, model checking is problematic when the out-degree is very large. In particular, quite often there can be a practically infinite number of ways to instantiate the constants of a B model. In this case, model checking will only find deadlocks for the given constants chosen. The basic idea is to generate deadlocks by solving a constraint consisting of the axioms Ax, the invariants Inv together with a constraint D specifying a deadlock. More formally, D is the negation of the disjunction of all the guards. The following tool developments were required to meet the challenges raised by the industrial application: • generation of the deadlock freedom proof obligation by ProB (to avoid dependence on other plug-ins and being able to control whether theorems are to be used or not; currently they are not used) • implementation of a constraint-based deadlock checking algorithm: • with the possibility to specify an additional goal predicate to restrict the deadlock search to certain scenarios: in Bosch's case due to the flow plugin, one wants to restrict deadlock checking e.g. to states with the variable Counter set to 10 • with semantic relevance filtering (to be able to filter out guards which are always false given the goal predicate). • with partitioning of the constraint predicate into components and optionally reordering according to usage (basic predicates which occur in most guards are listed first) • Improvements to ProB's constraint solving engine: (reification of constraints, detection of common sub-predicates, more precise information propagation for membership constraints, performance improvments in the typchecker and other parts of the kernel). ProB has been applied successfully to two models of the adaptive cruise control by Bosch. The more complicated model is CrCtrl_Comb2Final. To give an idea, here are some statistics of the deadlock freedom proof obligation for CrCtrl_Comb2Final: • when printed in 9-point Courier ASCII the formula takes 32 A4 pages (the disjunction of the guards starts at page 6) • the model contains 59 events with 837 guards (19 of them disjunctions, some of which themselves nested) • Bosch are interested in deadlocks that are possible according to a flow specified using the flow plugin; these can be found with ...

  • Problem/ Solution Statement Problem California’s forest health crisis is an emergency of unprecedented scope and scale, with disastrous implications for the state’s environment, economy, energy systems, and human life. Unlike essentially all other technologies and solutions proposed to respond to the crisis, gasification has the potential to process forest waste in a way that extracts value and sequesters a large portion of its carbon. Before the recipient’s development of the pre- commercial Powertainer technology, no one had developed gasification technology that could economically respond to the problem. As a result, there have not yet been any large-scale deployments of distributed, commercial-scale gasification technology. The acceleration of tree mortality and persistent drought conditions make finding solutions to this problem more critical with each passing day.

  • Project/Milestones Taxpayer develops and manufactures various products for use in the defense, aerospace and security industries. In consideration for the Credit, Taxpayer agrees to expand its operations at various locations throughout California, including El Segundo, Redondo Beach, Palmdale, Sunnyvale, Woodland Hills, Azusa and Rancho Xxxxxxxx. As part of its expansion, Taxpayer will invest in manufacturing equipment, computer and electrical equipment and make tenant improvements to the above facilities. Additionally, Taxpayer will hire full-time employees as part of its expansion (collectively, the “Project”). Further, Taxpayer agrees to satisfy the milestones as described in Exhibit “A” (“Milestones”) and must maintain Milestones for a minimum of three (3) taxable years thereafter. In the event Taxpayer employs more than the number of Full- time employees, determined on an annual full-time equivalent basis, than required in Exhibit A, for purposes of satisfying the “Minimum Annual Salary of California Full-time Employees Hired” and the “Cumulative Average Annual Salary of California Full-time Employees Hired,” Taxpayer may use the salaries of any of the Full-time employees hired and retained within the required time period. For purposes of calculating the “Minimum Annual Salary of California Full-time Employees Hired” and the “Cumulative Average Annual Salary of California Full-time Employees Hired,” the salary of any full-time employee that is not employed by the taxpayer for the entire taxable year shall be annualized. In addition, Xxxxxxxx agrees that any full-time employee hired after the effective date of this agreement that is a “qualified full-time employee” (as defined in RTC section 23636) shall be excluded from the calculation of the net increase of full-time employees required by this Agreement if Taxpayer claims the credit allowed by RTC section 23636.
