For decades, the standard way computers solved this was basically highly-optimized guessing and checking (a method called CDCL). It works great... until it hits a wall and takes roughly until the end of the universe to finish. Enter NitroSAT , an Unusually powerful linear-time MaxSAT approximator that consistently hits 99.5%+ satisfaction across diverse categories including Graph Coloring, Clique, and Ramsey instances that gets perfect satisfaction so often, might as well call it NitroSAT instead of NitromaxSAT.
