Checking Uniform-Like Samplers
Uniform sampling is pretty simple: there are a set of solutions to a set of equations, and I want you to give me N solutions uniformly at random. Say, I have a set of equations that only has the solutions x=1…6, and I ask you to give me solutions uniformly at random. In this case, […]

CMSGen, a Fast Uniform-Like Sampler
Uniform sampling is a problem where you are given a solution space and you have to present solutions uniformly, at random. In some cases, this is quite simple, say, for the lotto. Just pick 5 random numbers from a box and we are done! For the lotto the solution space is very easy to generate. […]

CryptoMiniSat 5.8.0 Released
After many months of work, CryptoMiniSat 5.8.0 has been released. In this post I’ll go through the most important changes, and how they helped the solver to be faster and win a few awards, among them 1st place at the SAT incremental track, 3rd place SAT Main track, and 2nd&3d place in the SMT BitVector […]

ApproxMCv3, a modern approximate model counter
This blogpost and its underlying work has been brewing for many years, and I’m extremely happy to be able to share it with you now. Kuldeep Meel and myself have been working very hard on speeding up approximate model counting for SAT and I think we have made real progress. The research paper, accepted at […]

CryptoMiniSat 5.6.3 Released
The latest CryptoMiniSat, version 5.6.3 has been released. This release marks the 12’000th commit to this solver that has weathered more than I originally intended it to weather. It’s been an interesting ride, and I have a lot to thank Kuldeep and NSCC‘s ASPIRE-1 cluster for this release. I have burned over 200k CPU hours […]
