About the resource/s
The Propositional Satisfiability problem (SAT) was the first to be shown NP-complete by Cook and Levin. SAT remained the embodiment of theoretical worst-case hardness. However, in stark contrast to its theoretical hardness, SAT has emerged as a central target problem for efficiently solving a wide variety of computational problems. SAT solving technology has continuously advanced since a breakthrough around the millennium, which catapulted practical SAT solving ahead by orders of magnitudes. Today, the many flavours of SAT technology can be found in all areas of technological innovation.
