A new parallel architecture for QBF tools

In this paper, we present the main lines and a first implementation of an open general parallel architecture that we propose for various computation problems about Quantified Boolean Formulae. One main feature of our approach is to deal with QBF without syntactic restrictions, as prenex form or conjunctive normal form. Another main point is to develop a general parallel framework in which we will be able in the future to introduce various specialized algorithms dedicated to particular subproblems
