Benchmarks for Parity Games (extended version)

TL;DR

This paper introduces a comprehensive benchmark suite for parity games, compiling all known benchmarks, describing their properties, and establishing their representativeness to facilitate future research and experimentation.

Contribution

It provides the first extensive, publicly available benchmark suite for parity games, including generation methods and structural analysis to ensure representativeness.

Findings

Benchmarks are representative of the diversity in parity games.

The benchmark suite is comprehensive and publicly accessible.

Structural properties help understand the complexity of benchmarks.

Abstract

We propose a benchmark suite for parity games that includes all benchmarks that have been used in the literature, and make it available online. We give an overview of the parity games, including a description of how they have been generated. We also describe structural properties of parity games, and using these properties we show that our benchmarks are representative. With this work we provide a starting point for further experimentation with parity games.
