Model checking is one of the formal verification techniques. This technique is very powerful, but limited by the state explosion problem that occurs when the model to be checked is too large, and cannot be verified for lack of memory space. In this article, we cite two solutions, parallel and distributed, which aim to reduce the state space explosion. A comparative study between these approaches is carried out on a counters model. %G English %L hal-01780556 %U https://hal-ensta-bretagne.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01780556 %~ UNIV-BREST %~ INSTITUT-TELECOM %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-UBS %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-STIC %~ ENIB %~ LAB-STICC %~ INSTITUTS-TELECOM
