Abstract
This technical report presents a performance evaluation of several hardware model-checking tools on a collection of benchmark tasks in the Btor2 format.The resulting dataset is intended to support machine-learning research for hardware model checking, particularly in areas such as algorithm selection,performance prediction, and automated tool configuration. It has been used, for example, in the development and evaluation of Btor2-Select, a machine-learning-based algorithm selection framework for hardware model checking. To construct the dataset, we benchmarked a diverse set of model-checking tools and algorithmic configurations. Each verification engine was evaluated on a common set of Btor2 tasks and the performance measurements, including CPU time, wall time, and memory usage, were collected. All data, including scripts and files required to reproduce the experiments, are publicly available at: https://gitlab.com/sosy-lab/research/data/perf-eval-hwmc/-/tree/1.0.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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 it
