Abstract:Constraint Programming (CP) is an efficient technique for solving combinatorial (optimization) problems. In modern constraint solver, a CP Model is defined over reversible variables that take values in domains and propagators which filter the domains of the variables. Constraint propagation scheme schedules the propagators. A reasonable constraint propagation algorithm can improve the efficiency of solving CP problems. In this paper, we propose two efficient parallel propagation schemes based on multi-thread t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
