================================================================================

This software package contains the SAT solver Riss, and might contain related 
tools:

Coprocessor   ... a CNF simplifier
Pcasso        ... a parallel search space splitting SAT solver

This README file is split into two parts. The first part explains how to build the
tools that are contained in the package, and the second part explains common use 
cases.


=== BUILDING: ==================================================================

Usually, when a tool has been build and another tool should be build as well, then
the next build call can be executed. However, some tool require additional build 
flags, so that an intermediate "make clean" should be executed. This holds especially
when building Pcasso. The build target for most performance is given below. For 
debugging purposes, the suffix "RS" can be replaced with "d" to enable assertions
and to disable code optimizations. 

	To build Riss (by default without constructing DRAT-proofs):
	make rissRS

	With producing DRAT proofs:
	make rissRS ARGS="-DDRATPROOF"

	To build Coprocessor:
	make coprocessorRS

	To build Pcasso:
	make pcassoRS

=== COMMON USE CASES: ==========================================================

The available parameters can be listed for each tool by calling:
	./<tool> --help

Using Riss to solve a formula <input.cnf> use
	./riss <input.cnf> [solution] [solverOptions]

Using Riss to solve a formula <input.cnf> and generating a DRUP proof, the 
following call can be used. Depending on the proof verification tool the option
"-no-proofFormat" should be specified. Note, not all formula simplification 
techniques support generating a DRUP proof.
	./riss <input.cnf> -drup=input.proof -no-proofFormat [solution] [solverOptions]

The script "cp.sh" provides a simple setup for using Coprocessor as a formula 
simplification tool and afterwards running a SAT solver. The used SAT solver can
be exchanged by changing the variable "satsolver" in the head of the script.
	./cp.sh <input.cnf> [coprocessorOptions]
