Abstract(in English) Cardinality constraints generated from real-world problems are often a bottleneck of SAT solving. This paper proposes an extended CNF that can express cardinality constraints and allows high-performance unit propagation. We have implemented it on MiniSat 2.2 which is one of the most popular SAT solvers, by improving deduction and propagation mechanisms to handle the extended CNF. Furthermore, we have parallelized it for larger-scale CNFs. To evaluate the performance improvement over the original MiniSAT, we made an experiment on our parallel extented solver using the ITC2007 benchmark set that contains cardinality constraints problems.
