Tapaal compared to other tools («Known» models, Liveness)
Last Updated
July 7, 2024

Introduction

This page presents how Tapaal do cope efficiently with the Liveness examination face to the other participating tools. In this page, we consider «Known» 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+red

Some statistics are displayed below, based on 3356 runs (1678 for Tapaal and 1678 for GreatSPN+red, so there are 1678 plots on each of the two charts). Each execution was allowed 30 minutes and 16 GByte of memory. Then performance charts comparing Tapaal to GreatSPN+red are shown (you may click on one graph to enlarge it).

Statistics on the executions
  Tapaal GreatSPN+red Both tools   Tapaal GreatSPN+red
All computed OK 15 297 1206   Smallest Memory Footprint
Tapaal = GreatSPN+red 0 Times tool wins 893 625
Tapaal > GreatSPN+red 0   Shortest Execution Time
Tapaal < GreatSPN+red 0 Times tool wins 596 922
Do not compete 0 0 0
Error detected 0 1 0  
Cannot Compute + Time-out 298 15 159


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+red, denote cases where Tapaal computed less values than GreatSPN+red, 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+red wins when points are above the diagonal.
