Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental In a first experiment, we show how VSIDS exploits both the popularity and the similarity of variables by analyzing the variables selected by the branching heuristic of the well-known CDCL SAT solver Minisat.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks clearly labeled as such.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access to source code (specific repository link, explicit code release statement, or code in supplementary materials) for the methodology described in this paper.
Open Datasets No The paper describes generating random SAT instances based on a new model rather than using a publicly available or open dataset. No specific access information (link, DOI, repository, or formal citation with author/year) is provided for a dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating random SAT instances with specific parameters for evaluation, rather than providing training/validation/test dataset splits of a pre-existing dataset.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types with speeds, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software like Minisat, Glucose, and March, but does not provide specific version numbers for these or any other ancillary software components.
Experiment Setup Yes The size of the formulas is n = 5000 when T < 2, and n = 300 otherwise. Since we are just interested in analyzing the effects of popularity and similarity of variables in SAT solving performance and not the effects of different clause sizes , we limit our experimentation to the case β = 0, K = 3 and k = 0, i.e., all clauses of size 3. We always use m/n = 4.25.
