Research Type Experimental We present for the first time an exhaustive enumeration of Williamson matrices of even order n < 65. The search method relies on the novel SAT+CAS paradigm of coupling SAT solvers with computer algebra systems so as to take advantage of the advances made in both the field of satisfiability checking and the field of symbolic computation. Additionally, we use a programmatic SAT solver which allows conflict clauses to be learned programmatically, through a piece of code specifically tailored to the domain area. Timings for running our entire algorithm (in hours) are given in Table 1, and timings for the running of the SAT solver alone are given in Table 2.

Pseudocode No The paper describes the algorithm steps in paragraphs (e.g.,
Open Source Code No The paper states:
Open Datasets No The paper is focused on the exhaustive enumeration of mathematical objects (Williamson matrices) rather than training a model on a pre-existing dataset. No public dataset for training is mentioned.
Dataset Splits No This paper does not involve machine learning models and therefore does not use validation sets or splits in the traditional sense.
Hardware Specification Yes Our computations were performed on a cluster of 64-bit AMD Opteron 2.2 GHz processors limited to 6 GB of memory and running Cent OS 6.7.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software used, such as
Experiment Setup No The paper describes the algorithmic steps and optimizations but does not provide specific experimental setup details like hyperparameter values or detailed configurations for the SAT solver beyond its programmatic interface.
