Branch: pkgsrc-2015Q1, Version: 5.2.5, Package name: spin-5.2.5, Maintainer: agc

To verify a design, a formal model is built using PROMELA, Spin's
input language. PROMELA is a non-deterministic language, loosely
based on Dijkstra's guarded command language notation and borrowing
the notation for I/O operations from Hoare's CSP language.

Spin can be used in four main modes:

1. as a simulator, allowing for rapid prototyping with a random,
guided, or interactive simulations

2. as an exhaustive verifier, capable of rigorously proving the
validity of user specified correctness requirements (using partial
order reduction theory to optimize the search)

3. as proof approximation system that can validate even very large
system models with maximal coverage of the state space.

4. as a driver for swarm verification (a new form of swarm
computing), which can make optimal use of large numbers of available
compute cores to leverage parallelism and search diversification
techniques, which increases the chance of locating defects in very
large verification models.
