List all solvers

python3 -m tptp local list-solvers

Run Leo III.

$ python3 -m tptp local run --solver-name leo3 --problem contrib/problems/SYN001+1.p --timeout 60

Run cvc4

$ python3 -m tptp local run --solver-name cvc4 --problem contrib/problems/SYN001+1.p --timeout 60

List all solvers

$ python3 -m tptp system-on-tptp list-solvers

Run Leo III.

$ python3 -m tptp system-on-tptp request --solver-name "Leo-III---1.4" --solver-command "run_Leo-III %s %d" --problem "contrib/problems/SYN001+1.p" 

$ python3 -m tptp competition examples/competitions/sat-solver-competition/definition.py

Run with more output. Good for error tracking.

$ python3 -m tptp competition examples/competitions/sat-solver-competition/definition.py --verbose

A solver can be used by this libary if it supports the SZS Ontology as its result on the stdout.

The solution status should be reported exactly once, in a line starting % SZS status" (the leading '%' makes the line into a TPTP language comment).

For instance, a SAT-solver started for problem SYN001+1 should output the line

% SZS status Satisfiable for SYN001+1

as part of its output if it proves the problem is satisfiable.

Consequently:

• if your solver proves the problem is unsatisfiable, the line % SZS status Unsatisfiable for SYN001+1.
• if your solver gaves up the prove, the line % SZS status GaveUp for SYN001+1.
• a full list of possible values for the SZS Status can be found at the SZS Ontology definition.

Any prove or prove-model should additionally be printed on the stdout in the following form.

% SZS output start CNFRefutation for SYN001+1
  ...
% SZS output end CNFRefutation for SYN001+1

To test your solve add it to our test competition, which can be found at

examples/competitions/sat-solver-competition/definition.py

Here you add your solver to the SOLVERS constant

SOLVERS = (
    ...
    {
        'type': 'local',
        'name': 'my-solver',
        'pretty-name': 'MySolver'
        'command': 'my-solver-binary-or-shell-script %s -t %d',
    },
    ...
)

This will ensure that your solver

• is called my-solver and is pretty printed MySolver
• when invoked to solve the problem absolute/path/SYN001+1.p within a timeout of 60 seconds the program/shellscript my-solver-binary-or-shell-script "absolute/path/SYN001+1.p" -t 60 is called
• your problem should output an SZS Status from the SZS Ontology (see above)

Running our test competition should now list your solver.

$ python3 -m tptp competition examples/competitions/sat-solver-competition/definition.py
...
% Satisfiable for Sat1.cnf expecting Satisfiable with MySolver -t 60s which is correct
...
