PKIND is a novel parallel k-induction-based model checker of invariant properties for finite-or infinite-state Lustre programs. Its architecture, which is strictly message-based, is designed to minimize synchronization delays and easily accommodate the incorporation of incremental invariant generators to enhance basic k-induction. We describe PKIND's functionality and main features, and present experimental evidence that PKIND significantly speeds up the verification of safety properties and, due to incremental invariant generation, also considerably increases the number of provable ones.
Kahsai and Tinelli also propose a parallel k-induction based model checker for Lustre programs REF .
