SatPie

SAT solver based on CDCL in Python

(Easy to Understand - Highly Commented Code) Features:

1. Conflict Driven Clause Learning
2. Clever Heuristics - VSIDS
3. 2 - Literal watch advanced data structure
4. Random restarts with restart probability decay

Status:

-> The correctness of the SAT Solver has been verified through some of the Benchmarks from various sources.

-> The Solver performs excellently for variables ≈ till 2000, even better than EduSat in some cases.

-> The performance starts degrading for very large instances which can be optimized further in future work by learned clause deletion and Unique Implication Point based clause learning.

-> Random Restart Probabilty can be adjusted to optimize performance for larger instances.
