Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a new parallel SAT solver based on the fastest sequential SAT solver "MINI-SAT" for a multi-core processor environment. Our solver consists of multi-processes. Each process executes a SAT solver which solves the same SAT problem using different search strategy parameters. Each process executes a SAT solver which solves the same SAT problem using different search strategy parameters and shares learned clauses each other for pruning redundant search space. The experimental result showed that our solver using 2-CPUs is approximately two times faster than -1-CPU, and 4-CPUs can solve two SAT problems which can not be solved by 1-CPU within a certain time limit.
