We present PaSAT, a parallel implementation of a Davis-Putnam-style propositional satisfiability checker incorporating dynamic search space partitioning, intelligent backjumping, as well as lemma generation and exchange; the main focus of our implementation is on speeding up SAT-checking of propositional encodings of real-world combinatorial problems. We investigate and analyze the speed-ups obtained by parallelization in conjunction with lemma exchange and describe the effects we observed during our experiments. Finally, we present performance measurements from the application of our prover in the areas of formal consistency checking of industrial product documentation, cryptanalysis, and hardware verification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
