TY - JOUR A1 - Gebser, Martin A1 - Kaufmann, Benjamin A1 - Schaub, Torsten H. T1 - Multi-threaded ASP solving with clasp T2 - Theory and practice of logic programming N2 - We present the new multi-threaded version of the state-of-the-art answer set solver clasp. We detail its component and communication architecture and illustrate how they support the principal functionalities of clasp. Also, we provide some insights into the data representation used for different constraint types handled by clasp. All this is accompanied by an extensive experimental analysis of the major features related to multi-threading in clasp.
