Reachability Graph of IOPT Petri Net Models Using CUDA C++ Parallel Application

Abstract

The construction of reachability graphs is suited to verify the properties and behavior of Petri net models based on the structure of the net and the initial marking. It allows checking whether a model conforms to the intended specification of a system and to obtain information about it. This paper proposes an algorithm to compute the reachability graphs of IOPT (Input-Output Place-Transition) nets, which is a Petri net class, using NVIDIA’s CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), which supports the co-processing using GPU and CPU. While CPU is used to schedule threads on GPU, GPU is used to calculate all the child nodes of the reachability graph, including the management of a hash-table for efficiently storing the new states and retrieving the states stored in the database. The presented algorithm takes advantage of CUDA memory functions to allocate and access data that can be used by code running on CPU or GPU, supporting the share of data between the two processor units. Six IOPT net models were used to validate the proposed algorithm.
