The International SAT Solver Competitions

Modern SAT solvers are routinely used as core solving engines in vast numbers of different AI and industrial applications. In this short article, we will provide an overview of the SAT solver competitions. The solvers), and another one based on wall clock time, second SAT competition took place during the second which promotes solvers using all available Dimacs challenge in 1993 (Johnson and Trick resources to answer as quickly as possible (for 1996). Another SAT competition took place in answers incorrectly if it reports satisfiable but Beijing in 1996, organized by James Crawford. Each survey propagation (Braunstein and Zecchina category is defined through the type of instances 2004), a new approach to efficiently solve randomly used as benchmarks.
