PaInleSS: a Framework for Parallel SAT Solving
Résumé
Over the last decade, parallel SAT solving has been widely
studied from both theoretical and practical aspects. There are now numerous
solvers that differ by parallelization strategies, programming languages,
concurrent programming, involved libraries, etc.
Hence, comparing the efficiency of the theoretical approaches is a challenging
task. Moreover, the introduction of a new approach needs either
a deep understanding of the existing solvers, or to start from scratch the
implementation of a new tool.
We present PaInleSS: a framework to build parallel SAT solvers for
many-core environments. Thanks to its genericity and modularity, it provides
the implementation of basics for parallel SAT solving like clause
exchanges, Portfolio and Divide-and-Conquer strategies. It also enables
users to easily create their own parallel solvers based on new strategies.
Our experiments show that our framework compares well with some of
the best state-of-the-art solvers.
