DESCRIPTION

tedd computes the state space of a Petri net or of a discrete time Time Petri using logic-based symbolic techniques (decision diagrams). It takes as input Petri net descriptions in textual form (.net, .pnml, .tpn formats) or graphical form (.ndr format of files produced by nd, .pnml with graphics). Priorities, time constraints and Time Transition System descriptions in .tts format are not supported yet. tedd also allows to compute dead states and dead transitions in the spaces explored.

Note: this preliminary version is a simplified variant of that used with success at the Model Checking Contest, with fewer options (no net reductions nor transformations, in particular).

OPTIONS

-help Recalls options.

Variable order options:
 

-order-auto
  Let tedd decide order of variables using its builtin metric.

-order-<spec>[,force][,rev][,flat][,4ti2]]
  Use specified order, where

spec is either:
  dfs: order variables as places are found in a dfs preorder traversal of net
  scan: same but in dfs postorder traversal
  bfs: same but in bfs traversal
  rcm: use Reverse Cuthill/McKee ordering
  wrcm: a variation of rcm taking arc weights into account
  struct: order making use of p-semiflows
  lexical: order variables according to place names, lexicographically
  sliced: a variant of lexical
  random: order variables randomly
  tpn: another variant of lexical order, recommended for tpn descriptions.
force: apply force heuristic to order computed
rev | reverse: reverse order computed
flat: flatten order (put all variables in a single hierarchical level)
4ti2: use 4ti2 instead of native algorithms to compute struct order.

-sdd-variables n
  Sets to n the max number of varibles at each hierarchical level.

-order-force-limit p t
  Skips force option when computing -order-auto and |P| > p or |T| > t

-order-struct-limit p t
  Skips struct order when computing -order-auto and |P| > p or |T| > t

-order-save file
  Saves order computed into a file.

-order-load file
  Loads variable order from file.

Build options:
 

-count-transitions
  Compute and print the number of transitions of the state space, if supported by tool. By defaut, neither tool computes the transition count as this can be expensive.

-dead-states
  Once the state space is built, compute the dead states (states without successors) and prints them if option -v passed.

-dead-transitions
  Once the state space is built, compute the dead transitions (those never fired) and prints them if option -v passed.

Input options:
 

-inh Forget inhibitor and read arcs in the input net.

-pr Forget priority constraints in the input net.

-tc Forget time constraints in the input net.

-dt Forget data processing when reading a tts description.

Input format and source:
 

-NET | -NDR | -PNML | -TPN | -TTS
  Specifies the format of the input net. This flag is necessary when the input net is read on standard input, or read from a file that does not bear the expected extension. By default, the net is assumed in .net or

infile Where the net is read. The input format is determined by the file type, according to the table below. If absent or specified by "-", the net is read on standard input in the format specified by the input flag. If both an infile and some input flag are present, then the format defined by the input flag supersedes that determined by the infile extension.

file extension          input format
--------------------------------------------------------------
.net                            net format
.ndr                            ndr format
.tpn                            tpn format
.pnml                   pnml format
.tts                         tts format

Output format and destination:
 

-q | -v Specifies the format of the output, quiet (-q) or verbose (-v). Relevant for -dead-stats and -dead-transitions.

outfile
  Where results are written.

Digest destination:
 

digestfile
  In addition to (possibly) its results in file outfile, tedd may prints a summary of results in file digestfile (default stdout).

Errors destination:
 

errorfile
  Where error messages are written. By default, errors are printed on standard error.

Other flags:
 

-p Disables state space generation, just parses input net.

-po Disables state space generation, just parses input net and computes variable order.

-stats Prints progress information on the fly, if available.

-b n Indicates that the marking of each place cannot exceed n. Tedd does not check it but may take advantage of this information for optimizing the state space representation.

-t n Stop if computation lasts longer than n seconds; no effects if n=0.

Default options:
 

tedd -q -pr -dt -order-auto

SHELL VARIABLES

Several tables used by tedd are statically allocated, including the following, with the default sizes shown:

table                   default size (items)
--------------------------------------------------------------
HOMUTSIZE                       10000
HOMCACHESIZE            1000000
HOMCACHETHRESHOLD       1000000
REWCACHESIZE            100000
REWCACHETHRESHOLD       1000000
SDDUTSIZE               2000000
SDDCACHESIZE            1000000
SDDCACHETHRESHOLD       1000000

These initial sizes may be changed by defining shell variables named like the tables to be dimensioned, with the desired sizes assigned to.

For better performances on nets with large state spaces, it might be wise to augment the default sizes of the HOMCACHE, SDDUT and SDDCACHE tables. Three examples size sets follow; the code assigning these sizes tp the shell veriables should br added to your startup file or to a file sourced before calling tedd (exact syntax depends on the shell im use).:

table           medium size     large size      very large size
--------------------------------------------------------------
HOMCACHESIZE    10000000                20000000                30000000
SDDUTSIZE       10000000                20000000                30000000
SDDCACHESIZE    5000000         10000000                15000000
