Abstract

For the satisfiability problem (SAT), the technique of parallel execution of solvers of different algorithms to explore the state space has been proposed. In this paper we propose a generalized technique called “heterogeneous parallel execution”, and prove a theorem which states an advantage of this technique, i.e., the parallel execution of plural algorithms is more efficient than the parallel execution of single algorithm. We also give a simple guideline to use this technique. The results of experiments of solving the SAT support these considerations.
