Cubicle-W: Parameterized Model Checking on Weak Memory

Abstract

We present Cubicle-W, a new version of the Cubicle model checker to verify parameterized systems under weak memory models. Its main originality is to implement a backward reachability algorithm modulo weak memory reasoning using SMT. Our experiments show that Cubicle-W is expressive and efficient enough to automatically prove safety of concurrent algorithms, for an arbitrary number of processes, ranging from mutual exclusion to synchronization barriers.
