Abstract
We present a hardware-accelerated Boolean Satisfiability Problem (SAT) solver targeting processor/Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) System on Chip (SoC)s.Our solution accelerates the most expensive subroutine of the Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland (DPLL) algorithm, Boolean Constrain Propagation (BCP), through finegrained BCP parallelism.Our solution addresses a known bottleneck in SAT solving acceleration: unlike prior state-of-the-art solutions that have addressed the same bottleneck by limiting the amount of exploited parallelism, our solver takes advantage of fine-grained parallelization opportunities and divides large formulas into smaller partitions manageable by FPGA.These partitions are hot-swapped into the FPGA as required during runtime.It is also the first completely open-source SAT accelerator, and formula size is limited only by the amount of available external memory, not by on-chip FPGA memory.Evaluation is performed on a Xilinx Zynq platform: experiments support that hardware acceleration results in shorter execution time across varying formula sizes, subject to formula partitioning strategy.We outperform prior state-of-the-art by 1.7x and 1.1x, respectively, for 2 representative benchmarks, and boast up to 6x performance increase over software-only implementation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
