Abstract

In PEPA, the calculation of the transitions enabled by a process accounts for a large part of the time for the state space exploration of the underlying Markov chain. Unlike other approaches based on recursion, we present a new technique that is iterative—it traverses the process’ binary tree from the sequential components at the leaves up to the root. Empirical results shows that this algorithm is faster than a similar implementation employing recursion in Java. Finally, a study on the user-perceived performance compares our algorithm with those of other existing tools (ipc/Hydra and the PEPA Workbench).
