Abstract

Solving quantifier-free non-linear real arithmetic (NRA) problems is a computationally hard task. To tackle this problem, prior work proposed a promising approach based on gradient descent. In this work, we extend their ideas and combine LLMs and GPU acceleration to obtain an efficient technique. We have implemented our findings in the novel SMT solver GANRA (GPU Accelerated solving of Nonlinear Real Arithmetic problems). We evaluate GANRA on two different NRA benchmarks and demonstrate significant improvements over the previous state of the art. In particular, on the Sturm-MBO benchmark, we can prove satisfiability for more than five times as many instances in less than 1/20th of the previous state-of-the-art runtime.
