GBDC: Global Benchmark Database, C++ Extension Module

GBDC provides efficient implementations of functions for benchmark instance identification, instance feature extraction and instance transformation. GBDC provides a command-line tool as well as the Python package gbdc. The Python package gbdc is used by Global Benchmark Database.

Documentation

GBDC provides benchmark instance identifiers, feature extractors, and instance transformers for several problem domains, including propositional satisfiability (SAT) and optimization (MaxSAT), as well as Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO). A description of the supported domains, feature extractors, and instance transformers can be found in the documentation.

Installation from PyPI

• Pre-built distributions for Linux and MacOS.
• Requires at least Python 3.10.0.
