| 1 | +# HWMCC'24 |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This will be the 12th competitive event for hardware model checkers. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Affiliated to [FMCAD'24](https://fmcad.forsyte.at/FMCAD24/) |
| 6 | +### October 14 - 18, 2024, Prague, Czech Republic |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Format |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +This year we will have **three tracks** with **single safety** properties: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +1. Word-level without arrays |
| 13 | +2. Word-level with arrays |
| 14 | +3. Bit-level with mandatory safety certificates |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Note that for 3) we will translate the word-level benchmarks from 1) and 2) to |
| 17 | +AIGER bit-level benchmarks. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +As in previous years, the word-level track is based on the BTOR2 format, which |
| 20 | +is described in |
| 21 | +[BTOR2 CAV'18 paper](https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F978-3-319-96145-3_32.pdf). |
| 22 | +The [Btor2Tools](https://github.com/Boolector/btor2tools/) |
| 23 | +tool suite provides a generic parser |
| 24 | +[Btor2Parser](https://github.com/Boolector/btor2tools/tree/master/src/btor2parser) |
| 25 | +and a simulator |
| 26 | +[BtorSim](https://github.com/Boolector/btor2tools/tree/master/src/btorsim), |
| 27 | +which are useful for parsing and random simulation of BTOR2 models, as well as |
| 28 | +for witness checking. |
| 29 | +There is also a simple bounded model checker |
| 30 | +[BtorMC](https://github.com/Boolector/boolector/blob/master/src/btormc.c), |
| 31 | +distributed as part of |
| 32 | +[Boolector](https://github.com/Boolector/boolector). |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Setup |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +TBD |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Benchmarks |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Submission deadline for new benchmarks is **August 18, 2024**. Please submit |
| 42 | +your benchmarks in BTOR2 format. If benchmarks have multiple safety properties, |
| 43 | +we'll split them up in separate benchmarks with one safety property each. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## Submission |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Please send model checker and benchmarks submissions to |
| 48 | +- [Armin Biere ](mailto:[email protected]) |
| 49 | +- [Nils Froleyks ](mailto:[email protected]) |
| 50 | +- [Mathias Preiner ](mailto:[email protected]) |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +**Registration and first versions** of model checkers are due on |
| 53 | +**September 1, 2024**. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +All submission dates are anywhere on earth (AoE). |
