Abstract
For the circuit-oriented SAT problems,general purpose SAT solver will make some unnecessary decision and implication. The reason lies in that the circuit structure information is lost in the conversion to CNF. To overcome this drawback in SAT-based unbounded model checking,an improved SAT solver is proposed. First,the concept of define-value clauses is given to store the circuit structure in CNF. The improved solver avoids many redundant decisions which would be made by previous solvers. And then,A CNF-based assignment reduction algorithm is employed to speedup the convergence in search. The experimental result shows that the improved solver achieves obvious speedup over a previous method in preimage computation. The new method is capable of handling complex circuit property checking on which BDD-based methods would hardly work.
