Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, a new design of the SAT solver PCMGTP implemented on an FPGA chip is described. Although the previous implementation of PCMGTP achieved considerable speedup in solving SAT benchmark problems compared to the software counterpart of MGTP, it failed to compete with the state-of-the-art SAT solvers in speed and was unable to deal with large problems due to the limited capacity of FPGA. We tried to improve our design by removing some redundancy in the data representation and the redundant states in the deduction engine. Also, we developed a new circuit called BCBE for performing logical implication, and modified the tournament circuit so as to deal with very large candidates and to shorten the critical path. As the result, the new implementation achieved speedup by factor of five as well as an order of magnitude space reduction compared to the previous one.
