چکیده
Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers have emerged as prominent tools in formal methods applications. While originally targeted towards quantifier-free inputs, SMT solvers are now often used for handling quantified formulas in automated theorem proving and software verification applications. The most common technique for handling quantified formulas in modern SMT solvers in quantifier instantiation. This paper gives an overview of recent advances in quantifier instantiation in SMT. In addition to the well-known technique known as E-matching, we discuss the use of conflicts and models for accelerating the search for (un)satisfiably. We further mention new instantiation-based techniques that are specialized to background theories such as linear real and integer arithmetic, and future work in this direction.

Understanding EPIC Architectures and Implementations
HP and Intel have recently introduced a new style of instruction set architecture called EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing), and a specific architecture called the IPF (Itanium Processor Family). This paper seeks to illustrate the differences between EPIC architectures and former styles of instruction set architectures such as superscalar and VLIW. Several aspects of EPIC architec...
متن کاملThe Implementation and Evaluation of a Low-Power Clock Distribution Network Based on EPIC
The multiply clock domain (MCD) technique is a novel technique to compromising between synchronous systems and asynchronous systems to reduce the power. However, most present studies of MCD are based on superscalar architectures. In this paper, MCDE, a MCD technique based on explicitly parallel instruction computing (EPIC) architecture is designed and implemented to reduce the power of clock di...

We describe our initial experiments with several state-of-the-art automated theorem provers on the problems in Tarskian Geometry created by Beeson and Wos. In comparison to the manually-guided OTTER proofs by Beeson and Wos, we can solve a large number of problems fully automatically, in particular thanks to the recent large-theory reasoning methods.

We present a method we call structure-based preferential bumping, a low-cost way to exploit formula structure in VSIDS-based SAT solvers. We show that the SAT solver Glucose, when modified with preferential bumping of certain easily identified structurally important variables, out-performs unmodified Glucose on the industrial formulas from recent SAT solver competitions.

متن کاملA Comparative Analysis Between EPIC Static Instruction Scheduling and DTSVLIW Dynamic Instruction Scheduling
To achieve performance, Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) systems take the responsibility of extracting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) from the hardware and give it to the compiler. They expose a large part of the hardware control at the conventional machine level. Dynamically Trace Scheduled VLIW (DTSVLIW) systems, on the other hand, leave the responsibility of extracting...
