Coprocessor - a Standalone SAT Preprocessor

Abstract

In this work a stand-alone preprocessor for SAT is presented that is able to perform most of the known preprocessing techniques. Preprocessing a formula in SAT is important for performance since redundancy can be removed. The preprocessor is part of the SAT solver riss and is called Coprocessor. Not only riss, but also MiniSat 2.2 benefit from it, because the SatELite preprocessor of MiniSat does not implement recent techniques. By using more advanced techniques, Coprocessor is able to reduce the redundancy in a formula further and improves the overall solving performance.
