Painless

PArallel INstantiabLE Sat Solver (Painless) is a framework written in C++ that simplifies the implementation and evaluation of new parallel SAT solvers for many-core environments. The components of Painless can be instantiated independently to produce a new complete solver. The guiding principle is to separate the technical components dedicated to some specific aspect of concurrent programming, from the components implementing heuristics and optimizations embedded in a parallel SAT solver.

Painless has been developed by the LRDE, the MoVe team at LIP6, and the DELYS team at LIP6 / Inria.
