Abstract
In order to classify the indeterministic termination behavior of the open source SAT solver CryptoMiniSat in multi-threading mode while processing hard to solve boolean satisfiability problem instances, internal solver runtime parameters have been collected and analyzed. A subset of these parameters has been selected and employed as features vector to successfully create a machine learning model for the binary classification of the solver's termination behavior with any single new solving run of a not yet solved instance. The model can be used for the early estimation of a solving attempt as belonging or not belonging to the class of candidates with good chances for a fast termination. In this context a combination of active profiles of runtime characteristics appear to mirror the influence of the solver's momentary heuristics on the immediate quality of the solver's resolution process. Because runtime parameters of already the first two solving iterations are enough to forecast termination of the attempt with good success scores, the results of the present work deliver a promising basis which can be further developed in order to enrich CryptoMiniSat or generally any modern SAT solver with AI abilities.
