Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solvers are used heavily in hardware and software verification tools for checking satisfiability of Boolean formulas. Most state-of-the-art SAT solver...
The relative decline of single-threaded processor performance, coupled with the ongoing shift towards on chip parallelism requires that CAD applications run efficiently on paralle...
— Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors (HMPs), such as the Cell Broadband Engine, offer a new design optimization opportunity by allowing designers to provide accelerators for appl...
