Machine learning accelerates SAT encoding for hardware design problems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a neuro-symbolic framework to improve the efficiency of Single Constant Multiplication (SCM) problem encoding. This approach uses a graph neural network to predict effective operator selection rules, significantly reducing encoding time and memory usage for large constants. The method demonstrated a one to two orders of magnitude reduction in encoding time and over 97% reduction in memory usage on unseen 17-32 bit constants, while maintaining near-optimal encoding quality.

    Identifying Good Rules for Efficient SAT Encodings of Single-Constant Multiplication Using Machine Learning

    arXiv:2607.21188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Single Constant Multiplication problem is a fundamental NP-hard optimization task in hardware design, which seeks to decompose a fixed constant using only additions, subtractions, and bit-shifts. Although dynamic programming met…
