Introduction
This page presents how Tapaal do cope efficiently with the ReachabilityCardinality examination face to the other participating tools. In this page, we consider «Surprise» models.
The next sections will show chart comparing performances in terms of both memory and execution time.The x-axis corresponds to the challenging tool where the y-axes represents Tapaal' performances. Thus, points below the diagonal of a chart denote comparisons favorables to the tool while others corresponds to situations where the challenging tool performs better.
You might also find plots out of the range that denote the case were at least one tool could not answer appropriately (error, time-out, could not compute or did not competed).
Tapaal versus GreatSPN
Some statistics are displayed below, based on 412 runs (206 for Tapaal and 206 for GreatSPN, so there are 206 plots on each of the two charts). Each execution was allowed 1 hour and 16 GByte of memory. Then performance charts comparing Tapaal to GreatSPN are shown (you may click on one graph to enlarge it).
| Statistics on the executions | ||||||
| Tapaal | GreatSPN | Both tools | Tapaal | GreatSPN | ||
| All computed OK | 114 | 0 | 73 | Smallest Memory Footprint | ||
| Tapaal = GreatSPN | — | — | 0 | Times tool wins | 204 | 2 |
| Tapaal > GreatSPN | — | — | 17 | Shortest Execution Time | ||
| Tapaal < GreatSPN | — | — | 2 | Times tool wins | 184 | 22 |
| Do not compete | 0 | 0 | 0 | |||
| Error detected | 0 | 0 | 0 | |||
| Cannot Compute + Time-out | 0 | 114 | 0 | |||
On the chart below, 
denote cases where
the two tools did computed all results without error,
denote cases where the two tool did computed the
same number of values (but not al values in the examination),
denote cases where Tapaal
computed more values than GreatSPN,
denote cases where Tapaal
computed less values than GreatSPN,
denote the cases where at least one tool did not competed,
denote the cases where at least one
tool computed a bad value and 
denote the cases where at least one tool stated it could not compute a result or timed-out.
Tapaal wins when points are below the diagonal, GreatSPN wins when points are above the diagonal.
Tapaal versus ITS-Tools
Some statistics are displayed below, based on 412 runs (206 for Tapaal and 206 for ITS-Tools, so there are 206 plots on each of the two charts). Each execution was allowed 1 hour and 16 GByte of memory. Then performance charts comparing Tapaal to ITS-Tools are shown (you may click on one graph to enlarge it).

Tapaal wins when points are below the diagonal, ITS-Tools wins when points are above the diagonal.
Tapaal versus smpt
Some statistics are displayed below, based on 412 runs (206 for Tapaal and 206 for smpt, so there are 206 plots on each of the two charts). Each execution was allowed 1 hour and 16 GByte of memory.

Tapaal wins when points are below the diagonal, smpt wins when points are above the diagonal.
